AIFF’s Shaji Prabhakaran requests Elon Musk to intervene after I-League Twitter account gets blocked for ‘suspicious activity’

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) secretary-general Dr. Shaji Prabhakaran, on Saturday, raised concerns after the I-League Twitter handle was blocked ‘due to suspicious login attempts’.
In a tweet on social media, Prabhakaran wrote: “After YouTube now Hero I-League. Official Twitter handle locked @Twitter due to suspicious login attempts. It is worrying that one of the key official handles of #IndianFootball got locked. @elonmusk request your intervention. Please help us. This is part of some design.”
This comes as Musk has revealed plans to do away with two-factor authentication via SMS from March, except for those accounts that have subscribed to Twitter Blue service.
