Mumbai: A day after Anupam Kher reported that
his Twitter account was hacked, the privacy of actor Abhishek
Bachchan's handle was also compromised.
A string of tweets in Turkish and English have been
shared from the 42-year-old actor's verified Twitter account,
which also featured the emoji of the Turkish flag.
The miscreants, pro-Pakistan Turkey-based cyber group
Ayyildiz Tim, also changed the name of his handle from
'JuniorBachchan' to 'JuniorBachchana'.
Twitter Support posted a tweet on their official handle,
saying the team is working to fix the issue and they would be
in direct correspondence with the affected account holders.
"Our teams are working to resolve an issue affecting a
small number of Indian users. We will notify affected account
holders directly.
"Reminder: do not click on links in DMs coming from
unknown accounts. For security advice & best practice, read
here," the tweet read sharing a link explaining the process.
Yesterday, besides Kher, Twitter accounts of Puducherry
Governor Kiran Bedi, BJP General Secretary Ram Madhav and
Rajya Sabha MP Swapan Dasgupta were also hacked by the same
group.
