She too urged her fans and followed to not respond to any messages from her hacked accounts in order to prevent their own accounts from getting hacked. "My Twitter account has been hacked as of last evening. Please do not click or reply if you get any message from it as it may be used to hack into your account too," Farah wrote on Instagram.
Recently, actress and Shiv Sena leader Urmila Matondkar and celebrity interior designer Sussanne Khan’s Instagram accounts were also hacked.
However, Urmila's account was restored within a day after she lodged a complaint with Mumbai Police, but the actress complained that a few of her posts are still missing. Urmila had filed an FIR with the Cyber Crime Cell of the Mumbai Police after her account was hacked.
