The hacker used the former cricketer’s account to post links related to crypto as promotional tweets.

The hacker had also attached a link to a fake crypto account named after Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Khan currently has around 7.4 million followers on the gram.

No official statement has been released from Imran Khan’s side regarding the matter.

[{"selector":"#anim-1cee6d83-a6ba-41e4-82db-3b4d27f42543","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-99374c77-7199-45ed-86ca-ebd101e8c98e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-92.21312%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The incident has brought a major embarrassment to the PTI officials.
