Several politcal leaders including Prime Miner Narendra Modi’s personal handle were targeted hackers in the past.
In December last year, the Centre’s cyber security win CERT-In ordered a high-level inquiry after hackers posted a tweet from PM Modi’s handle claiming that India has “officially adopted bitcoin as legal tender”.
