Amitabh Bachchan’s Twitter account hacked

June 12, 2019 by BollywoodPresents Team

Amitabh Bachchan’s account was recently hacked. A French security researcher pointed to a user who goes by the handle @NoyanAyt2002 as the person behind the hack.

Bollywood Shahenshah is quite active on twitter and regularly tweets about various things, including films of course. Bachchan’s account has more than 37 million followers.

A group of Turkish hackers took over Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan‘s Twitter account, and posted tweets about the harsh treatment Turkish soccer players have faced at the hands of Iceland recently.

The hackers changed Bachchan’s profile picture to a photo of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan. It even changed the actor’s bio to “Love Pakistan” with an emoji of a Turkish flag. The group even posted a tweet condemning the Indian government for its approach towards Muslims.

French security researcher who uses the pseudonym Elliot Alderson pointed to a user who goes by the name Kerem Sah Noyan on Twitter and uses the handle @NoyanAyt2002 as the person behind the hack.

“Few hours ago, the account of @SrBachchan with his 37.4M followers has been hacked. There is a high probability that the hacker is @NoyanAyt2002,” Alderson tweeted. “Guess who is the last person followed by @SrBachchan? Obviously @NoyanAyt2002,” he added. “To sum up: The hacker of @SrBachchan’s account is @NoyanAyt2002. He is part of team called “Turkish Cyber Army Ayyildiz Tim”. He hacked at least 8 “big” Twitter accounts before that including @dalermehndi, @divyadutta25, @ErosNow, @bmwindia, @dalermehndi, @yanisvaroufakis,” Alderson added.

Kareena Kapoor’s fan hacks into her I-Tax account to get her phone number

You PAN number can be (mis)used to log in to your income-tax account. That’s what Kareena Kapoor realised recently.

A die-hard 26-year old fan of Kareena Kapoor hacked into her I-tax account hoping to get her telephone number, is finally arrested by Mumbai’s cyber cell.

Kareena Kapoor is not only one of the leading actresses in Bollywood, she also has a hefty bank-balance (being one of the highest paid actresses in Bollywood). So when her CA (Chartered Accountant) found out that Kareena’s I-tax account has been hacked, he wasted no time to get in touch with Mumbai Police Cyber Cell department.

The Mumbai Police’s Cyber Cell immediately spring into action and managed to nab the culprit, who happens to be from the Paramilitary forces (these guys understand technology and networking well).

But why did the die-hard fan hack into Kareena’s income tax account?

The accused desperately wanted to talk to Kareena Kapoor, and while he could not get Kareena’s phone number, he did manage to get her PAN card details while searching online for her mobile number.

Using the PAN card number, he hacked into Kareena Kapoor’s income tax account hoping to find her contact number.

When Kareena Kapoor’s CA realised that he was not able to access the account, he approached the BKC Cyber police station.

This only highlights the importance of making sure your PAN card is used for the right purposes (make sure you sign the zerox copy of your PAN, and mention the purpose on it).

Sonakshi Sinha orders headphones online, gets junk (iron piece) instead

Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha, whose father Shatrughan Sinha is a politician (and former actor), recently ordered premium headphones on amazon India, but instead received piece of junk (iron piece).

She expressed her displeasure by posting it on social media.

“Hey Amazon India! Look what I got instead of the Bose headphones I ordered! Properly packed and unopened box, looked legit… but only on the outside. Oh and your customer service doesn’t even want to help, that’s what makes it even worse,” Sonakshi posted on Twitter.

Anybody want to buy a brand new shiny piece of junk for 18,000 bucks? (Yup, its a steal) Dont worry, im selling, not @amazonIN, so ull get exactly what you’re ordering. pic.twitter.com/3W891TA7yd
