The cover picture of the Twitter account of Bachchan was changed to the logo of the Turkish hacker group with an eagle. But later, the cover picture was deleted.

As Ayyildiz Tim Turkish Cyber Army.”

The account of Bachchan was restored back to normal after half an hour but the actor himself hasn’t said anything regarding this matter. The earlier post, the profile picture along with the cover picture has been deleted and has reverted back to normal.

It is not the first time the Turkish hacker group hacked the Twitter account of a popular actor, in the past they had also hacked the accounts of Anupam Kher, Shahid Kapoor and others.

Earlier this year, India’s political party Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP)’s official website was hacked as well. Although the exact ID of the hacker hasn’t been confirmed and no hacker group has come forward yet. Later, the website was taken down and it stayed down for a few days.
