A Week After Jaaved Jaaferi's X Account Was Hacked, Hacker Tweets, "DM Me"

It has been a week since Bollywood actor Jaaved Jaaferi's X account was hacked, but the cybercriminal is still active on the platform. The hacker, who took over Jaaferi's account, shared a post on his page earlier this month, claiming to have "recovered" it and offering to give back access to the account if users send them direct messages.

Jaaved Jaaferi first alerted his fans about the compromised X handle in a post on Instagram, sharing screenshots of how he was unable to access his X page. The attached image showed an error message that read: "Sorry, we could not find your account." Jaaferi wrote in the caption, "So my X account (@jaavedjaaferi) has been hacked. I sincerely request those that are following me on Twitter to complain to X about."

Jaaved's post was a reference to the popular song Sadda Haq from Rockstar, with the actor adding "Saada Hack... Aetthe Rakh!! Thank you."

A Troubling Trend for Celebrities' Social Media Accounts

This incident is part of a troubling trend of celebrities' social media accounts being compromised. Earlier this month, singer Shreya Ghoshal regained control of her X account after it was hacked nearly two months ago. She shared a video on X claiming that her account, which was hacked in February, is now back in her hands.

"I am back!! I will be talking and writing here often..Yes my X account has been in trouble as it got hacked in February. Now I have finally had the help from the @X team after lot of struggles in establishing a proper communication. All is well!! Now I am here." Ghoshal tweeted, thanking the X team for their assistance.

Other celebrities whose X accounts recently became targets of cybercrime include comedian Tanmay Bhat, lyricist Javed Akhtar, actor Swara Bhasker, and Arjun Rampal.

Jaaved's fans are eagerly awaiting news about the film's release date and are keeping a close eye on his X account in the meantime.
