In the brief period that the account was compromised, any Tweet shared must be ignored.
Several Twitter users shared screenshots of the tweet put out from the Indian Prime Minister’s personal Twitter account, @narendramodi, showing it was compromised.
The screenshot read: “India has officially accepted bitcoin as legal tender. The government has officially bought 500 BTC” and would be “distributing them to all residents of the country.”
That tweet has since been deleted.
However, it’s not known yet who was behind these antics.
It should be noted that India does not recognize Bitcoin as legal tender.
