Cybersecurity has been a major concern in the later half of the year. After a series of hacks right from Mark Zuckerberg to Rahul Gandhi, the latest prey to hackers is Vijay Mallya. Today early morning around 3, Mallya had tweeted from his account that his account has been hacked by the group called Legion and that they’re blackmailing him.
My account has been hacked by some one called Legion who are Tweeting now in my name. Simply ignore. Will fix this .

At IST 10:26 HRS, Legion attacked Mallya from his personal account with a series of sensitive and private information.
*Passwords and profanity has been edited.
It was not just a dump of his personal information, but a few other information regarding his stay in UK and investment reports have been disclosed.
There were still many tweets from the Legion group, but the account got back in control of Mallya and the tweets have been deleted. But the people who had the opportunity to witness the tweets are definitely having their share of fun.
Legion are the ones who had Their Bank Account in SBI that’s why they targeted @TheVijayMallya ????
