Hacking of social networking accounts are increasing day by day. Even celebrities are in the target list, nowadays. May be the reason behind this is see them in trouble without any reason. Before, the way was, to create fake accounts in the name of the celebrity and making it believe to be genuine and deceiving the fans and then targeting it for spam purposes. But nowadays, personal email and verified social networking accounts of these celebrities are hacked. Spam messages are sent to other celebs from that hacked account, making it show that the victim celeb has written those words in real.
Recent victim of this kind of matter is Mahesh Bhatt, a well known bollywood filmmaker. His twitter account was hacked a day before and three celebs, Kamaal Khan , Poonam Panday and Sunny Leone were abused with that account.
But after this incident Mahesh Bhatt cleared , that his account has been hacked and he didn’t do such cheap things.
In fact, this is not so new. Many celebs have faced this trouble before too. Sayali Bhagat and Ashton Kutcher are such examples. Before some days, a message from Sayali’s suspected PR was sent to the media, accusing an actor like Amitabh Bachchan of indecent behavior towards the actress. Afterwards, it was cleared that the email was hacked and Sayali didn’t do it. In the same way, Ashton’s twitter account was hacked by someone, who only warned that his account is not secure. That was done to create awareness against better cyber security.
Therefore, it is cleared that social networking accounts such as Twitter and Facebook of some celebrities are targeted, so that both, they and their account come into trouble, the cybercriminals can easily spread their spammed links to millions of their followers.
What do you think about this ?
