WhatsApp groups of T'gana cabinet ministers hacked
The Morning Standard
|November 24, 2025
CYBERCRIMINALS on Sunday compromised a Telugu TV channel reporter's phone and sent APK files to several Telangana Cabinet ministers' WhatsApp groups that were being run by their PROs to share information with the media.
The hackers renamed the groups as "SBI" and asked members to update their Aadhaar details using APK files. However, alerted admins of the groups removed the victim from their groups and also alerted the other members.
When contacted, Hyderabad cybercrime police said that they have not received any complaint from anyone regarding this issue.
