Bhubaneswar: The official X account of the Twin City Commissionerate Police has reportedly been hacked, raising concerns over the cyber security of the police force’s social media platforms.

Even 19 hours after the incident, the account had reportedly not been restored, triggering concerns over the delay in regaining control of the official handle.

The incident has raised questions about the cyber security measures in place to protect the social media accounts of law enforcement agencies, which are often used to share important public information, advisories and updates.

Regaining control of the compromised account and securing it against further unauthorised access are now key priorities.

However, details about who was behind the alleged hacking remain unknown. It is also unclear when the account will be restored to normal operation.

Further information regarding the incident and the steps being taken to recover the account is awaited.
