"There is no indication or evidence of any correlation between this account compromise and the incident that took place in July," the company said in a statement shared with IANS.

Twitter account of PM Modi's personal website hacked — asks followers for Bitcoin and Ethereum donations

Prime Minister <keyword id="6354477" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="narendra-modi" source="Orion">Narendra Modi</keyword>'s personal Twitter handle was restored after getting "very briefly compromised," the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said in a tweet on Sunday, after it shared a link promising a <keyword id="6354947" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bitcoin" source="Orion">bitcoin</keyword> giveaway. "The Twitter handle of PM @narendramodi was very briefly compromised. The matter was escalated to Twitter and the account has been immediately secured. In the brief period that the account was compromised, any tweet shared must be ignored," PMO India said in a tweet. The account of Modi, who has more than 73.4 million followers, has now been restored. Before the account was restored, a tweet was shared with a URL on PM Modi's timeline which read, "India has officially adopted bitcoin as legal tender. The government has officially bought 500 BTC and is distributing them to all residents of the country." Minutes later, another tweet was posted, saying, "Yes this account is hacked by John Wick (hckindia@tutanota.com), We have not hacked Paytm Mall." "We have 24X7 open lines of communication with the PM's Office and our teams took necessary steps to secure the compromised account as soon as we became aware of this activity. Our investigation has revealed that there are no signs of any other impacted accounts at this time," Twitter spokesperson told IANS. After Prime Minister Modi's account was compromised, #Hacked began trending in India. "Good Morning Modi ji, Sab Changa Si?," Srinivas BV, the national president of the Indian Youth Congress, tweeted. "Was the Twitter account of the Hon'ble PM shri #NarendraModi ji hacked? And promise of #Bitcoin !!" tweeted political activist Tehseen Poonawalla. Another user warned others about the link. "#PMmodi #modi account #hacked, please do not click on the link. It's a scam. ... Even PM's account is not safe. How safe will be Indian social media from hackers, manipulators, scammers and foreign influence? #Twitter verified security compromised?"

Prior to this, no trades used a single, shared digital application. This is not the first time that Indian banks have attempted to integrate blockchain into their systems. In June last year, ICICI Bank, DCB Bank, and Deutsche Bank, to name a few stakeholders, <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/indian-banks-partner-with-microsoft-for-blockchain-banking-platform" data-type="tilCustomLink">partnered</a> with <keyword id="10387" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Microsoft">Microsoft</keyword> to develop blockchain platforms for the Indian banking sector.

This data is highly secure and cannot be tampered with. Banks and other financial institutions back and invest in blockchain technology because it cuts their costs and makes operations faster, transparent and automated. “The framework of India Connect is said to be ledger agnostic and capable of working with other blockchain platforms like Bitcoin, Hyperledger, Ethereum and Corda,” Rao said.

Earlier <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/cryptocurrency/news/trading-on-crypto-exchanges-based-outside-of-india-may-get-more-expensive/articleshow/83747213.cms">reports</a> had indicated that trading cryptocurrencies on foreign exchanges may attract a 2% equalisation levy, but they did not relieve how the tax would be imposed. Sitharaman’s comments, in response to a query from Sushil Kumar Modi — the deputy chief minister of the eastern state of Bihar — shed some clarity. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="The Indian government data has no data on crypto exchanges or investors" comment="subhead" text="The Indian government data has no data on crypto exchanges or investors">The Indian government data has no data on crypto exchanges or investors</cmsannotation> Modi’s original question to Sitharaman was whether or not the government collects information about <a href="https://wazirx.com/signup?invite=2kpah6gr&amp;utm_source=business-insider&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=microsite&amp;is_retargeting=false&amp;shortlink=BI&amp;c=site&amp;pid=Business%20Insider&amp;af_click_lookback=7d&amp;af_channel=Business%20Insider&amp;af_adset=article&amp;af_force_deeplink=true">crypto exchanges</a> and their investors in India. According to the Finance Minister, the Modi administration does not collect any such information. As per data shared by WazirX CEO, <a href="https://twitter.com/nischalshetty/status/1389437595327733764?lang=en">Nischal Shetty</a>, the country has over 15 million investors trading in crypto and the monetary value of that trade comes up to around ₹15,000 crore. In addition to exchanges, India is home to over 350 blockchain and crypto startups — many of which have raised money from bigger global exchanges. WazirX — the largest crypto exchange in the country — for instance, is owned by crypto giant Binance. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Finance Ministry has no insight into the how cryptocurrencies are being used" comment="subhead" text="Finance Ministry has no insight into the how cryptocurrencies are being used">Finance Ministry has no insight into the how cryptocurrencies are being used</cmsannotation> In addition to highlighting the lack of data on how many companies are operating within the crypto space, Sitharam also disclosed that her department has not received information on whether any of these exchanges are involved in drug trafficking or other forms of money laundering in the country. However, the authorities have been digging in. Earlier this month, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/cryptocurrency/news/cryptocurrency-wazirxs-founder-nischal-shetty-gets-notice-from-ed-for-2971-crore-transactions/articleshow/83427891.cms">accused</a> WazirX of allegedly violating provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMO) for <keyword id="6357017" type="DEFINITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="cryptocurrency">cryptocurrency</keyword> deals worth ₹2,790.74 crore. More recently, an individual got arrested by the Hyderabad police for running a cryptocurrency scam to the tune of ₹3,145 crore. According to the cops, the person allegedly used WazirX to befriend the victims. Meanwhile, the crypto exchange told <a href="https://www.medianama.com/2021/07/223-cryptocurrency-scam-wazirx-binance/">Medianama</a> that it is not involved in any way. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Crypto regulation in India still hangs in the balance" comment="subhead" text="Crypto regulation in India still hangs in the balance">Crypto regulation in India still hangs in the balance</cmsannotation> India has been on the verge of formulating a bill to regulate cryptocurrencies in the country. It was expected to be tabled during the ongoing Monsoon Session of the Parliament, but <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/cryptocurrency/news/indias-crypto-bill-is-unlikely-to-be-up-for-discussion-this-month-and-it-may-be-a-while-before-we-see-it-in-parliament/articleshow/84401863.cms">stakeholders</a> now believe that is unlikely. The crypto industry in India has been in a flux of sorts, following clashes with the country’s central bank, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The bank had issued an informal note to lenders in May, which led them to withdraw services from many crypto exchanges in the country. Exchanges in turn had to stop taking rupee deposits from investors, and though the situation has improved since, some have still limited the services they can provide. <a href="https://forum.businessinsider.in/">For a more in-depth discussion, come on over to Business Insider Cryptosphere</a> — a forum where users can deep dive into all things crypto, engage in interesting discussions and stay ahead of the curve.
