Akanksha Puri's Social Media Accounts Hacked: 'Extremely Embarrassed As Cheap Comments Went Out To People,' Says Actress- EXCLUSIVE
Akanksha Puri's Instagram and Facebook accounts got hacked yesterday. However, she has recovered them now. The actress speaks to us elaborately on what exactly happened
Celebrities often become victims of cyber crime and the latest one to face the wrath of social media hacking is Akanksha Puri. Vignharta Ganesh actress' Instagram and Facebook account was hacked yesterday morning and got recovered after 12 hours.
Talking to us exclusively, Akanksha elaborated, "Yesterday morning I had posted an Instagram story about Father's Day and after that I wasn't able to do anything from my profile. I could open my accounts- both Instagram and Facebook as they are interlinked- but could not do any activity on it. But the one who had hacked was operating it and stalking celebrities accounts especially the verified ones. Then I contacted a technical expert who explained to me that there is a two-way authentication and with the help of it I finally recovered my account. But it took almost 12 hours and it was extremely stressful for me."
She further revealed, "The person who had hacked my account was viewing stories and posts of other celebrities whom I didn't even know. Also, some cheap comments were made from my profile and DM's were also sent. So, some of my celebrity friends only informed me about the hacking. And they were kind enough to delete such things from their profile and informed me. Also, my fans supported me a lot they shared the screen grabs on Twitter. I can't disclose the actors' names who received weird and cheap messages from my account but I was so embarrassed to know and read them. I am thinking half of the things I don't know what that hacker must have done in all these hours."
Akanksha disclosed that thankfully things got solved in time and she didn't have to take any legal action. But the person who helped me to recover the account informed that I had not completely secured my profile and hence it was easily hacked. So, I would request all to do this two-way authentication. Also, seeing the comments and DM's done by my profile I could feel the hacker is a teenage as his writing sounds quite kiddish and if he must have been an expert I wouldn't have been able to recover it soon. Celebrities often face this and I think they should be extra careful with their security profile."
