The Twitter account of the Information and Broadcasting Ministry was hacked on Wednesday morning.
The hackers changed the account name and posted malicious links from the handle. The ministry’s account was changed to ‘Elon Musk’ and the hackers also posted tweets with some links, saying ‘Great Job’.
It was restored by the ministry soon after and the malicious tweets were deleted, UNI reported from New Delhi.
After the account was restored, the ministry tweeted, “The account @Mib_india has been restored. This is for the information of all the followers.”
The incident comes a month after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s personal Twitter account was hacked.
