The official Twitter account of the University Grants Commission (UGC) India was restored after it was briefly hacked on Sunday. Notably, this was the third prominent Twitter account that was hacked in the past two days including the UP Chief Minister's Office and the Indian Meteorological Department of India.
The breach came to notice when some unidentified hackers took control of UGC India's Twitter account and posted a long thread of irrelevant tweets tagging numerous unknown persons across the world. The hacker also used a cartoonist picture as the profile photo.
The Twitter handle with the username @ugc_india has around 2,96,000 followers at present.
The account is also linked to its official website.
