Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanth’s Twitter Account Hacked, Now Restored

Lucknow: Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, had his Twitter account hacked on Saturday. The UP CMO account’s profile photo was altered to a cartoonist monkey, and the post was published on a guide named “How to convert your BAYC/MAYC animated on Twitter,” indicating that the account had been hacked.

The unidentified hackers also posted a thread of some random tweets on the UP CMO account.

However, the account has now been restored. The UP CMO has 4 million followers on the microblogging site.

The hackers had previously attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Twitter account in December of last year. The hackers claimed that India had “formally recognised bitcoin as legal tender” in a tweet from the Prime Minister’s Twitter account. “The government has officially acquired 500 BTC and is giving them to all residents of the country,” the hackers stated, sharing a link and urging people to “hurry up.”
