The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Office’s official Twitter account was hacked in the early hours of Saturday, April 9.

After almost 4 hours, the account was partially restored and the tweets posted by the hackers after taking over the account were removed.

The unidentified hackers also posted a thread of some random tweets on the UP CMO account. Hackers used the UP CMO Twitter handle to publish a post based on a tutorial called "How to turn your BAYC/MAYC animated on Twitter". In addition, a cartoonist picture was used as a profile picture on the UP CMO account.

A few hours later, the account was partially restored and the tweets posted by the handle when the account was hacked had been deleted.
