YouTubers Tanmay Bhat, Abdu Rozik, and Aishwarya Mohanraj’s Account HACKED? Hackers Live Stream Tesla Events-REPORTS
Tanmay Bhat’s Gmail account too was hacked and it featured US automotive company Tesla’s picture on his YouTube page
Technological developments come at a cost! The hacking of social media accounts has become a common phenomenon. Now, as per the latest reports, the accounts of popular YouTubers Tanmay Bhat, Aishwarya Mohanraj and former Bigg Boss fame have become new victims of cyberattacks.
Tanmay’s Gmail account too was hacked and it featured US automotive company Tesla’s picture on his YouTube page. Interestingly, the channel live-streamed the company’s event. However, the channel, which has over 4 million subscribers, had 473 videos. But, following the cyberattack, it has no content on its page now.
According to IANS, Tanmay has claimed that the two-factor authentication was breached in his case. Similarly, Aishwarya Mohanraj's channel which has more than 70,000 subscribers features Tesla's picture with 2 live streams of a Tesla event.
Considering Elon Musk’s online popularity, hackers have impersonated him in the past to perpetrate various types of scams. Incidentally, the posing as a business account of Musk-owned Tesla isn’t entirely new and the live streams being run by these hackers carry superimposed messages that aggressively nudge users to scan a QR code on the screen, reported IANS.
Abdu, who has over 1 million subscribers on YouTube, faced a similar attack from hackers. His channel too has been flooded with videos of tutorials on crack software.
