While India aims to regulate cryptocurrencies, a surprise tweet from the official handle of India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently suggested that the country officially adopted Bitcoin as a legal tender. This was unusual as the Ministry of Finance recently stated that the government has no plans to recognize Bitcoin as a legal tender. Well, it turns out that someone “briefly compromised” the Indian Prime Minister’s Twitter account.
Kaul, who was one of the first to report on the account breach, took to Twitter to share the news on December 12. He shared the original screenshot, showcasing the tweet, 17 seconds after it was posted on the micro-blogging platform. However, the tweet was deleted shortly after the report. You can check out Kaul’s tweet attached right below.
