Cryptocurrencies are not legal tender in India.
This isn't the first time a Modi account has been compromised. In September of last year, the account of Modi's personal website and mobile app encouraged people to donate to a relief fund.
This isn't the first time a high-profile account has been hacked. In July 2020, 130 accounts, including former President Barack Obama, Kim Kardashian, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk, sent out links to a scam. The stock lost more than $1 billion in value.
According to The Times of India, the Indian government has been the target of over 30,000 cyberattacks this year. More than 50,000 cyber security incidents were faced by the country's government organizations in 2020.
