In a shocking turn of events this morning, popular Tamil actress and politician Khushbu Sundar was struck by a cyber blow when Khushboo Sundar’s X account (formerly Twitter) handle was hacked. The incident, even though did not lead to any meaningful disruption or loss of data, has raised an alarm and is the latest addition to the very long list of celebrity cyber attacks. In a surprising twist, the hacker left a brief but daring message: “Your account is of no use to us.”

Khushbu Sundar, known to be outspoken and active on social media, straight away went on Instagram to make the announcement for her fans. She mentioned on her post that her X account had been hijacked, and she was not able to go on it since her normal credentials were being blocked. She requested her fans to ignore any suspicious posts or updates from the account, assuring them that she was taking all possible steps to rectify the situation. This was a precautionary action taken to prevent further misuse of her identity and to alert her audience to potential scams being posted online.

Khushboo Sundar’s X account hacked

What made it so unconventional for this account to have been hacked was the strange note left by the cyberthief: “Your account is of no use to us.” Unlike the common practice of hacking, where thieves wish to loot confidential information or utilize the account for financial gain, the message implies another motive – or the hacker’s lack of sensitivity. The bluntness of the assertion has been a point of contention among web communities, adding an interesting footnote to what otherwise is another overused account breach. Khushbu makes an appeal for help

Following the attack, Khushbu Sundar had turned to social media for help, asking her fans as well as cybercrime authorities to assist her in recovering her account. She was incensed by the incident and asked her fans to be careful, requesting them to report anything unusual with respect to her account. Khushbu demonstrated concern for ensuring her online security by promptly alerting her fans as well as the concerned authorities.

Broader Implications

This hacking incident is a chill reminder of the vulnerability of public figure accounts in the age of digital savvy. With increasing numbers of cybercriminals shifting their sights towards celebrities, professionals emphasize the requirement of strong account defense practices and increased public awareness. The incident involving Khushbu Sundar is yet another clarion call to individuals and sites alike to create better cybersecurity protocols and secure online identities.
