Air India’s Twitter account hacked briefly
The cyber attack came to light after a series of tweets, one of which claimed that all Air India flights have been cancelled.
National carrier Air India’s Twitter account was temporarily hacked by suspected Turkish hackers on Thursday morning. The hackers changed the official handle @airindiain to @airindiaTR following which Twitter removed the verified mark.
The cyber attack came to light after a series of tweets, one of which claimed that all Air India flights have been cancelled. “Last minute important announcement: All our flights have been cancelled. From now we will fly with Turkish Airlines,” read the tweet pinned to the official handle. The handle’s cover image was also changed to a photo of a Turkish Airlines plane.
It also retweeted the handle – AyyıldızTim multiple times. The group claims to be a Turkish Cypriot Army on their Twitter handle.
