  • German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier's official X account was hacked. Hackers initially changed the account to Adolf Hitler's profile, followed by another change to the Bihar Government's Water Resources Department.

The X (formerly Twitter) account of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier was reportedly hacked, leading to a bizarre series of changes. Initially, the account's bio was altered to describe him as "Adolf Hitler," and it was later changed to claim he was the "Chief Minister of Bihar," an Indian state. The account also posted a message in Hindi, "Jai Shri Ram," which translates to "Hail Lord Ram," a common Hindu greeting. This incident occurred on a Sunday, and the account was restored to its original state by Monday morning. The German Embassy in India confirmed the hack and mentioned that the issue was being addressed. This event highlights the vulnerability of high-profile social media accounts to hacking and the potential for misuse.
