The Twitter account of business tycoon Vijay Mallya was reportedly hacked by the same group that made their way into both, Rahul Gandhi's and Congress Party's accounts too. "My account has been hacked by someone called Legion who are Tweeting now in my name. Simply ignore. Will fix this," Mallya said in a tweet.
Another tweet read, "Outfit called Legion has hacked my e-mail accounts and are blackmailing me!! What a joke." The hackers posted a series of tweets claiming they have details of Mallya's assets at several banks and passwords of various accounts. "Hello We are back with – Vijay Mallya's assets at several bank All known passwords of Mr. Mallya," the group tweeted. They urged for public support, claiming to bring more information about criminals to bring them to justice.
"Support legion. We will bring you the info needed to bring these criminals to justice! We shall bring you more about this fraudster and conman over the course of the next few weeks," the group said in tweets.
Loans defaulter Mallya owes over £900 million to lenders like SBI, PNB, IDBI Bank, BoB, Allahabad Bank, Federal Bank, and Axis Bank, among others. He left the country on March 3 this year and is currently said to be in Britain. His passport was revoked by the Indian government.
