After attacking the Congress Party and its vice-president Rahul Gandhi, the same group on Friday has torn into the Twitter account of liquor baron Vijay Mallya and leaked several of his email accounts and passwords.

"My account has been hacked by someone called Legion who are Tweeting now in my name. Simply ignore. Will fix this." Mallya tweeted.

Mallya said in his tweet that a group called Legion has hacked his e-mail accounts and are blackmailing him.

The hackers have posted a series of tweets revealing the passwords of his accounts and several assets, investments, addresses and phone numbers.

'The bank accounts, assets, passports, offshore investments of mallya can be found at -

The group also tweeted that Mallya is creating propaganda and refuted his charges of blackmailing the industrialist.

"We did not blackmail Mallya, any and all rumours are assumptions and fake!

He is creating propaganda."

Gandhi's Twitter account @OfficeOfRG (Office of RG) was hacked on November 30.

The Twitter handle logs show both Gandhi and Congress' account were operated from Sweden, Romania, U.S., Canada and Thailand.
