Oshiwara Police Recover Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra’s Hacked X Account After Unauthorised Access

Mumbai police’s cyber division successfully reclaimed filmmaker Sudhir Mishra’s hacked X social media account after unauthorized access. The incident occurred on a Monday, following an earlier complaint from Mishra who reported losing access to his account. The police meticulously examined the account's activity history, identifying the breach and unauthorized email modification that led to the takeover.

Focusing on the 12:53am intrusion and the subsequent alteration of sudhirmishra.sudhir@gmail.com to valid9031@outlook.com, the cyber team collaborated with X’s backend systems to rectify the situation. Sudhir Mishra, a three-time National Award-winning filmmaker, had previously informed X support that their recovery request was rejected due to the inability to confirm the account's legitimacy.

Upon regaining access, Mishra expressed gratitude towards the Mumbai Police and Oshiwara police’s cyber team, specifically mentioning senior inspector Sanjay Chavan, sub-inspector Vijay Suresh Sardesai, assistant sub-inspector Ashok Konde, and constable Vikram Sarnobat.
