India allrounder Krunal Pandya’s Twitter account gets hacked

In an unfortunate incident on Thursday morning, India cricketer Krunal Pandya’s Twitter account has been hacked. The hacker took responsibility and put the account up for sale in exchange for Bitcoins.

The hacking was first confirmed when the culprit first retweeted at 7.31 AM on Thursday morning. The hacker’s second-last tweet came at 7.47 AM which said, “Selling this account for bitcoins.” He added another in the same thread saying, “bc1qex8cewu8krpy0gu4vlz7kkekhhuwh9hf9jjxz3. send me bitcoin,”

The last tweet was sent at 8.21 AM which said, “bye GOAT cheese.” The last legitimate Krunal tweet Krunal posted was a video of himself batting at the nets on January 18. It has a caption that reads, “Too inspired to be tired.” Krunal has 1.3 million Twitter followers.

Krunal has played five ODIs and 19 T20Is for the Indian cricket team so far and was last seen in action for his domestic team Baroda in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022.

He managed just 143 runs and picked up five wickets in 13 matches during the last edition of IPL.
