Earlier, veteran Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir's Twitter account was also hacked by anonymous hackers on Saturday.

After hacking Gambhir's account, the hackers sent out messages to a few popular personalities including the likes of former Australian wicket-keeper batsman Adam Gilchrist, Bollywood actress Chitrangada Singh, and former Sri Lankan cricketer Kumar Sangakkara.

After Gambhir's account was restored, he also posted a tweet and tagged all of them with a warning that hackers might have got some personal information out of them.

My earlier tweets regarding my twitter handle being hacked were deleted. This confirms again that my account is hacked. @TwitterIndia @Twitter @TwitterSupport @TwitterSafety need some action from you guys.
