The Government of India Press Information Bureau has recently uncovered a serious cyber fraud. Fake social media profiles have been set up in Wing Commander Vyomika Singh of the Indian Air Force and Colonel Sophia Qureshi of the Indian Army, who took part in Operation Sindoor. These profiles were appearing with a blue tick (verified). Both of these profiles soon went viral on the social media platform X. These spurious accounts have attempted to propagate false information by abusing the popularity of the two authorities.
Neither Vyomika Singh nor Sophia Qureshi has an official handle on X. However, these imitative accounts have gained 28,400 followers on behalf of Vyomika Singh and over 68,000 followers on behalf of Sofia Qureshi. PIB has made a stern warning in this regard and requested people to take information only from official sources and not from imitative accounts.
When the Indian Army organized a press conference after they finished conducting Operation Sindoor, Colonel Sophia Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh grabbed everyone's attention. Since this press conference, Colonel Sophia's heroism is on the lips of Indians. People are searching for him greatly on social media. But these two heroic personalities do not have an official account on X. In such a scenario, you have to find out fake accounts and stay away from them.
