Shatrughan Sinha’s Twitter account gets hacked, renamed as Elon Musk
However, it now seems like Sinha has retrieved his account as the changes made by the hackers have been rectified.
Now, actor and Congress leader Shatrughan Sinha is the latest politician whose Twitter account has been hacked by cybercriminals. The account was allegedly renamed to ‘Elon Musk’. They have also changed his display profile photo with a photo of the rocket launch.
However, it appears that hackers have left the password unchanged, as Sinha recently tweeted about his party colleague Shashi Tharoor, unaware of the changes to his profile.
In a tweet posted a few hours ago, Sinha wrote, “What a fantastic conversation between two popular, respectable, acceptable, able, politicians! The sauve, intellectual par excellence Shashi Tharoor & the outspoken, courageous, forthright TMC leader Mauhua Moitra as he chats with her on India@75. They talk about how times, democracy etc have changed over the years. Your feedback & comments are most welcome. Jai Hind! A not to be missed interview!(sic)”
However, it now seems like Sinha has retrieved his account as the changes made by the hackers have been rectified.
Also, this is not the first time that hackers have renamed prominent profiles as Elon Musk. A few months ago, the Twitter account of Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi’s party All-India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) was also hacked and disguised as the Tesla chief.
