Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan’s Twitter hacked by pro-Pakistan Turkish group
Famed Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan’s Twitter account was hacked by pro-Pakistan Turkish hacker group, Ayyildiz Tim, who posted various anti-India tweets to his almost 40 million followers.
The hackers changed Bachchan’s profile picture on Monday night to that of Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan beside a Pakistan flag. They also edited the actor’s bio to read, “Actor ... well at least some still saying so!” followed by “Love Pakistan.”
