There is nothing new when celebrities’ email accounts get hacked! For virtually every month, celebrities make headlines when hackers spy on their email accounts, misuse it and leak their personal details. So when Sajid Khan hit headlines when his account was compromised, we were shocked! Initially, he didn’t pay much attention to it because he thought he wasn’t interested in email and social networking websites. But when his friends started calling him up, he realized how serious the problem had become. The hacker used his account to send mails to actresses asking them for their high-res nude pictures!
This isn’t the first time that we have heard of such an instance. In the past too celebrities like Ekta Kapoor, Meghna Naidu, Ali Merchant, Arbaaz Khan have faced similar problems. But what’s disturbing is the spurt in the number of such incidents! For it shows how ridiculously simple it is to break into their emails and extremely difficult to catch hold of culprits.
Here’s a list of celebrities who are having a bad time dealing with the menace of leaked personal details:
Meghna Naidu: She filed a police complaint saying that her email id has been hacked. The hacker was trying to malign her image by writing obscene mails to her friends. She said, “The hacker used my gmail account to chat with my friends and even said that I am pregnant and wanted to go for an abortion. The fraud wrote all such obscene things about me.”
Ekta Kapoor: Her email account too got hacked and the hackers sent false messages to her friends through her mail. An insider revealed that Ekta came to know that her email was hacked when she started receiving phone calls from her friends. They said that they received email from her where they have been asked to pay Rs 11,000 if they wished to get audition for her shows. On hearing this, she was shocked.
Arbaaz Khan: “My email account has been hacked for the 2nd time in 7 days. I’m gonna file a complaint with the cyber cell as its a unlawful act,” Arbaaz submited on the microblogging site Twitter. “Hackers don’t look to realise that such an offense can land them in lockup. The act carries a 3 year lockup term. Surprise if all this is worth it,” he added.
Kareena Kapoor: On returning from Morocco with beau Saif Ali Khan, after completing the schedule of “Agent Vinod”, Kareena Kapoor was shocked to find how her personal e-mail id had been hacked into. “When she returned to India, the first thing she wanted to do was check her e-mails. But she couldn’t log into her account despite several attempts. That’s when she realised that her e-mail account had been hacked into. Kareena is really upset because this happens to be one of her oldest e-mail accounts,” a source said!
