Hackers turn high-profile Indian X accounts into crypto traps

Some bad people on the internet tricked important people in India and took over their X accounts, a website where people share short messages.

The victims included a former ambassador and a famous journalist.

The hackers posted messages pretending these people made lots of money from cryptocurrency, a kind of digital money.

The messages said a coach named @coach_hannahrae helped them and even showed a picture of a black car.

The hackers got in by sending fake links that looked real, and when people typed their passwords, the hackers stole them.

They also used tricks like swapping phone SIM cards and stealing login tokens.

The hackers wanted followers to send them money or buy a new digital coin.

This is called a scam, and it tricks people into giving away their money.
