The official X (formerly Twitter) account of Indian public sector bank Canara Bank was compromised on Sunday morning.

Following this incident, the hacker changed the username of the handle to 'ether[dot]fi'.

Currently, the Canara Bank official X account has approximately 255,000 followers.

"Canara Bank would like to inform all concerned that the bank's official X account has been compromised," stated the bank in a release.

"All concerned teams are investigating the matter and are working closely with X to regain access to the Canara Bank X handle at the earliest," it said.

For now, X has gained control of the page and is conducting its Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), according to the bank.

The bank also advised users not to post anything on its X page.

"We will inform you immediately when it is restored and working in Canara Bank controls. The inconvenience caused is regretted," the bank said.
