Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik’s Twitter handle was hacked on Tuesday by unknown persons, according to a statement of Raj Bhavan, and the hackers followed Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan immediately from the Governor's microblogging site handle.
“It was noticed today that the Governor J&K’s twitter handle was hacked by some mischievous elements and he was shown as follower of Imran Khan, Prime Minister of Pakistan twitter handle,” a Raj Bhavan statement said.
“The moment it was noticed, necessary corrections were made to the account and the Imran Khan Twitter Handle was un-followed. The matter has been reported to JK Police to take necessary follow up action as per law and find out who the miscreants are,” the Governor’s statement said.
Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah tweeted over the issue, referring to the hacker as “very kind.”
Very kind “hacker”. He/she only used his/her access to follow Imran Khan & then quietly left the account access untouched. Raj Bhavan was able to immediately undo this one change. If I ever get hacked God please give me such a kind hearted hacker. pic.twitter.com/YoEaKr1TTL
