German President’s X account hacked, altered to Bihar government’s profile
Berlin/New Delhi: The official X (formerly Twitter) account of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier was reportedly hacked and modified to resemble the Bihar government’s Water Resources Department profile.
While there has been no official statement from the German government, media reports indicate that hackers had previously altered the account to appear as a verified page of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party.
The alleged breach was first flagged by multiple X users when the account's username was changed to @adolf_gov, with the description modified to "Make Germany Great Again"—a slogan reminiscent of former US President Donald Trump’s campaign.
A post from the compromised account featured an image of Hitler alongside Italian dictator Benito Mussolini with the caption: "Remember: when you stand together, when your goal is the same, when your spirit is unshakable, nothing can stop you. #MGGA."
The account, which initially had 57,000 followers, was briefly suspended following the incident. However, it later reappeared, now posing as the Bihar government’s Water Resources Department, while still retaining the handle @FrankWalterGER.
Since the hack, the account's follower count has surged to nearly 60,000. The controversial post has since been removed.

Maharashtra class 12 chemistry paper circulated on social media before exam, leak suspected
Nagpur (PTI): Police are investigating a suspected leak after the class 12 Chemistry question paper was allegedly circulated on social media in Nagpur ahead of the exam being conducted by the Maharashtra board, officials said on Saturday.
The exam malpractice came to light on Wednesday at a high school examination centre after a female student’s frequent visits to the washroom raised suspicion.
Invigilators seized the student's smartphone. Its analysis showed that the question paper had been shared on a WhatsApp group before the exam began, officials said, adding that possible answers were also exchanged in the same group.
Based on the student's statement, another pupil is being questioned.
The preliminary investigation suggests a person linked to a private coaching shared the question paper for money, officials said.
A case was registered at Sadar police station, and an investigation was launched.
