PayTM Mall did not breach database, only to tell PM Modi's Twitter handle hacked


Posted on 3rd Sep 2020 03:00 pm by rohit kumar

A Twitter account linked to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's website was hacked on Thursday. The hacker, describing himself as 'John Wick', told Hindustan Times that he hacked the PM's account to reveal that his name was being dragged wrongly in another case. He also said to the PM's Twitter handle that he has not hacked Paytm Mall.

 

 

A Twitter spokesperson confirmed that the Twitter account of PM Modi's website @narendramodi_in was hacked. Several posts were made after 3 am, asking people to donate to a cryptocurrency wall, which the hacker said was linked to the 'PM National Relief Fund'. These tweets were later removed.

 

 

In a tweet, it was answered in response to a question asked on the email ID, "There was no intention behind hacking this account." Recently, taking our name in fake news, it was said that we had hacked PayTM mall. We sent a mail to all the news publishers in the country, but no one responded. So we decided to post something. ''

 

 

In response to a query from Hindustan Times, a Twitter spokesperson said via email, "We are aware of this activity and are taking steps to protect the hacked account." We are investigating this. There is no information about the impact of more accounts at this time.

 

 

"The hacking has nothing to do with the PM's Twitter handle, but is linked to the website," a Prime Minister office official said on condition of anonymity. He said, "The management of the website is with the BJP. Well, apart from password protection, a user cannot do anything else with his Twitter handle. ''

 

 

The hackers did not answer the question of how they executed the hack. Screenshots from Twitter show that the tweets were done via "narendramodi_tweets_apps". It has been reported that the website narendramodi.in has been broken, not the Twitter account. Hacker said, "They have to increase security and invest in people like us."

 

 

On 30 August, cybersecurity firm Cybele reported that a hacking group named John Wick had accessed the entire database of Paytm Mall. Paytm later issued a statement saying that the matter is being investigated and assured that the user data is safe.
