Rubina Dilaik recently left her fans concerned when she took to her Instagram and revealed that her X (formerly known as Twitter) account was hacked. She shared a screenshot and told her fans that she was unable to access her account. In a recent interview, the actor opened up about the incident.
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Rubina Dilaik opened up about her X account being hacked. She revealed that she found out that her account was hacked through her fans. She mentioned that she could not check on it because she was swamped with the duties of being a new mother. She said, “I realized today in the morning that since the past two days, many fans have been sending messages on Instagram, and e-mails, and some even reached out to my family and friends to let me know that my X account might have been hacked. Given the circumstances that I have been travelling and living the new mum life, I did not get a chance to check on it.”
She continued, “In respect to online space, the security is not great. I am not the first case whose account has been hacked. It really doesn’t give you a sense of security, but I don’t panic in such situations. My topmost concern was to let my fans know about it so that if there is any illegal activity happening, they shouldn’t get trapped.”
Dilaik also talked about the pros and cons of using social media as a public figure. She added, “As public figures, we need to have control in our hands, how much we allow our personal life to be out there on public forums. One can choose to remain private as well. With the advent of technology, it’s high time that we understand that social media has its pros and cons. And, we take the control in our hands rather than others having control of our lives through social media.”
The actor revealed that she has still not been able to access her account. On the work front, she was seen hosting ‘Entertainment Ki Raat Housefull.’
