Turkish hackers hijack twitter account of top Indian diplomat to UN
The verified Twitter account of India’s top diplomat to the United Nations was briefly taken over by suspected Turkish hackers early on Sunday, 14 January, morning.
The Turkish hacking group Ayyıldız Tim claimed responsibility for the attack and managed to take over the president of the World Economic Forum’s account over the weekend as well.
India’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Syed Akbaruddin’s Twitter handle @AkbaruddinIndia was changed to @AkbaruddinSyed before two photos of Pakistan’s flag and the country’s President Mamnoon Hussain were posted.
Akbaruddin’s blue verified badge disappeared after the username was changed.
In a pinned tweet, the group wrote in both Turkish and English: “You are hacked by the Turkish cyber army Ayyıldız Tim! We got your DM correspondence! We will show you the power of the Turk! I love Pakistan.”
The group also reportedly tweeted a link to the YouTube video of Bollywood actor Raj Kapoor’s classic 1951 song “Awaara Hoon”.
