Veteran actor Anupam Kher who is quite active on social media recently said that his Twitter account has been hacked. The 62-year-old actor who is currently in Los Angeles said that he only got to know about the hack once his friends from India alerted him about the breach. "My Twitter account has been hacked. Just got few calls from friends in India about it. I am in LA and it is 1 am," he told a news agency. The actor revealed that he had received a link from Rajya Sabha MP Swapan Dasgupta in a direct message.
Since the link had come from him, the actor clicked on it. MP Dasgupta's Twitter account is reportedly compromised by Turkish Pro-Pak hackers. "Got a DM yesterday from Mr. Swapan Dasgupta's account about a link. A first from him. So opened it. Have spoken to Twitter already," the actor added. The hackers have identified themselves from Turkey. They're calling themselves the Turkish 'cyber army' and had even posted a tweet from Anupam's account. It read as, ‘your account has been hacked by the Turkish cyber army Ayyildiz Tim. Your DM correspondence and important data have been captured!’ ‘I Love Pakistan,’
The actor's account has currently been suspended. Stay tuned for more updates.
