Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) official Twitter account was hacked on Saturday, January 21, morning. The hacker apart from changing the display picture changed the profile name to ‘Bored Ape Yacht Club’ and posted NFT related tweets. The hacker also retweeted the NFT related content from other profiles. Fans and other Twitter users were quick to notice that the RCB account has been hacked. As of now, RCB hasn’t removed the unwanted content from their profile. Interestingly, RCB posted a promotional video while its account was compromised.
