The Twitter account of BJP chief JP Nadda was hacked this morning. Tweets from his account show messages asking for cryptocurrency donations for Russia, whose troops have encircled Ukraine's capital Kyiv after President Vladimir Putin authorised an invasion three days ago.

The tweets disappeared some five minutes after they appeared. The hackers sought donations in cryptocurrency.

Hackers have targeted the social media accounts of political leaders in India including Prime Minister Narendra Modi's account in recent times.
