No new tweet was posted after the hacking.
The official Twitter account of Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress has been hacked and the profile name and photo have been changed.
The profile name has been changed to “Yuga Labs”, which appears to be the name of a crypto company.
However, no new tweet was posted after the hacking.
This is similar to the 2020 case where the Twitter handles of several prominent individuals in the US were targeted by hackers.

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Kanye West were among those targeted by the massive hack and tweets asking for cryptocurrency donations were posted from their accounts.
At the time, Twitter had said it was a “coordinated” attack targeting its employees “with access to internal systems and tools”.
“We know them [the hackers] used this access to take control of many highly visible (including verified) accounts and Tweet on their behalf,” the company said in a series of tweets.
