Akanksha Puri’s Social Media Handles Recovered; Reveals It Took 12 Hours, Was Extremely Stressful

Along with fame, love and adoration, being a public personality comes with certain disadvantages. Many celebrities often become victims of cyber bullying and face the wrath of trolls, for no fault of their own. Hate messages, fake accounts and hacking of personal accounts are examples of the same. The latest personality to fall prey to cyber crime is television actress and Paras Chhabra’s ex-girlfriend Akanksha Puri. Her social media accounts were recently hacked and cheap comments along with direct messages were shared by the handle.

In a chat with Spotboye, the actress revealed that she had posted a Father’s Day post on 21^st June in the morning, after which she could open her accounts but was unable to operate them. However, the person who had hacked her social media handles was operating it and stalking verified celebrities. Akanksha then contacted a tech expert who walked her through the process of two-way authentication and finally helped her recover her accounts. She stated, “But it took almost 12 hours and it was extremely stressful for me.”

Talking about the activities of the hacker through her account, Akanksha said, “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.”

Well, the good news is that Akanksha’s account is safe and secure now!
