New Delhi, Feb 27: On Sunday morning, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Jagat Prakash Nadda’s Twitter account was hacked, with multiple tweets calling for bitcoin donations to support Russia and Ukraine.
A now-deleted tweet requested bitcoin donations for Ukraine, while another tweet claimed the account had been hacked and that the payments were intended for Russia because they were the ones who “needed aid.”
“Stand with the people of Russia. Now accepting cryptocurrency donations. Bitcoin and Ethereum,” the tweet read.
