India cricketer Krunal Pandya has been hacked by what appears to be a bitcoin scammer. At the time of publishing of this story, the account was still in control of the aforementioned hacker who in one of his several tweets made from the allrounder’s handle claimed to be selling the ‘account for bitcoins’.
The first activity on the account since it was hacked happened around 7:31 am (IST) with a retweet of a post from an account that thanked Krunal for following it.
Krunal is just the latest public figure in the growing list of Twitter accounts being hacked by anonymous bitcoin scammers. In 2020 alone over 100 high-profile twitter accounts were hacked to promote such scams.0
