Embattled liquor baron Vijay Mallya’s twitter and email accounts were hacked today, with the hacker posting details of his purported bank account, offshore investments, luxury cars, passwords and phone number.
Mallya, who fled to London in March as banks chased him over loan default by now defunct Kingfisher Airlines, said a hacking group called Legion had gained access to his twitter and email accounts and posted those details.
“My account has been hacked by some one called Legion who are Tweeting now in my name. Simply ignore. Will fix this. Outfit called Legion has hacked my e-mail accounts and are blackmailing me!! What a joke,” Mallya tweeted earlier this morning.
The hacker, called ‘Legion’, threatened to expose more financial details of Mallya in coming days.
Mallya seems to have got back the control of his account, and all tweets posted by the hacker have been deleted.
Recently, twitter handles of Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi’s official account and Congress party were hacked and some expletives-laden tweets were posted.
