(CNN
Business) 纳伦德拉·莫迪 (Narendra Modi) 的推特句柄“非常短暂地遭到破坏”，他的办公室表示，当时印度总理的账户发送了一条推文，称他的国家已经采用了比特币，并将分发这种加密货币。
印度总理办公室周日在一条推文中说：“此事已升级到推特，该帐户已立即得到保护。”
官员补充说：“在帐户遭到入侵的短时间内，任何分享的推文都必须被忽略。”
据美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）的附属机构 News-18 报道，几位推特用户分享了印度总理的个人推特账户@narendramodi 发布的推文截图，当时该推文遭到入侵。
屏幕截图显示：“印度已正式接受比特币作为法定货币。政府已正式购买 500 BTC”并将“分发给该国所有居民”。
该推文已被删除。与推文一起，还附上了一个可能的诈骗链接。
莫迪在推特上拥有超过 7000 万粉丝——在世界领导人中名列前茅。
印度不承认比特币为法定货币。
9 月，萨尔瓦多成为世界上第一个采用加密货币作为法定货币的国家，上个月，该国总统纳伊布·布克勒 (Nayib Bukele) 表示，他计划建造世界上第一个“比特币城”——最初由比特币支持的债券提供资金。
印度最近甚至考虑了禁止加密的想法。上个月，莫迪政府表示正准备提出一项法案，“禁止在印度使用所有私人加密货币”。但该法案的描述还表示，它将允许“某些例外情况，以促进加密货币的基础技术及其用途”。
这种语言留下了很大的解释空间。该法案没有具体说明“私人”加密货币的含义，因此尚不清楚这是否适用于世界上交易量最大的硬币，包括比特币和以太坊。印度财政部上个月没有回应 CNN Business 关于该法案的问题。它尚未在本届议会会议上提出。

Narendra Modi's Twitter account hacked with announcement India would adopt Bitcoin
(CNN Business)Narendra Modi's Twitter handle was "very briefly compromised," his office said, when a tweet was sent from the Indian Prime Minister's account saying his country had adopted Bitcoin and would be distributing the cryptocurrency.
"The matter was escalated to Twitter and the account has been immediately secured," the Indian PM's office said in a tweet on Sunday.
"In the brief period that the account was compromised, any Tweet shared must be ignored," officials added.
Several Twitter users shared screenshots of the tweet put out from the Indian Prime Minister's personal twitter account, @narendramodi, when it was compromised, according to CNN's affiliate News-18.
The screenshot read: "India has officially accepted bitcoin as legal tender. The government has officially bought 500 BTC" and would be "distributing them to all residents of the country."
That tweet has since been deleted. Along with the tweet, a possible scam link was also attached.
Modi has more than 70 million followers on Twitter — among the most of any world leader.
India does not recognize Bitcoin as legal tender.
In September, El Salvador became the first country in the world to adopt the cryptocurrency as legal tender and last month, the country's president Nayib Bukele said he planned to build the world's first "Bitcoin City" — funded initially by Bitcoin-backed bonds.
India has even recently entertained the idea of a ban on crypto. Last month, Modi's government said that it was preparing to introduce a bill that would "prohibit all private cryptocurrencies in India." But the description of the bill also says it would allow for "certain exceptions to promote the underlying technology of cryptocurrency and its uses."
That language leaves a lot of room for interpretation. The bill didn't specify what is meant by "private" cryptocurrencies, so it's not clear whether that applies to the world's most heavily traded coins, including bitcoin and ethereum. India's finance ministry did not respond to questions from CNN Business about the bill last month. It has yet to be presented in the current parliamentary session.
