Islamabad – On Wednesday, the X account of TV show host and journalist Waseem Badami was hacked. Badami’s name trended as his social media account was compromised.
Numerous mysterious and inappropriate posts were shared by the host of the 11th-hour show, but it became clear that Badami was not responsible for these posts.
Badami himself has not made any statements on other social media platforms, but TV host Iqrar ul Hassan Syed confirmed the hacking in a social media post.
وسیم بادامی صاحب کا ٹوئیٹر اکاؤنٹ ہیک کر لیا گیا ہے۔ لہٰذا جب تک اکاؤنٹ واپس حاصل نہیں کر لیا جاتا تب تک اُن کے اکاؤنٹ سے کی گئی تمام ٹوئیٹس کو نظر انداز کیا جائے۔
میں اس حوالے سے اپڈیٹ فراہم کرتا رہوں گا۔— Iqrar ul Hassan Syed (@iqrarulhassan) November 29, 2023
The individual who hacked Badami’s account started preaching about morality, sparking reactions on social media. This security breach has raised concerns and serves as a reminder of the vulnerability of even the most well-known personalities to online security issues.
