[Bharat Prime], a trusted news platform, is facing a major cybersecurity challenge as its founder, Vijendra, has lost access to his Facebook profile due to an unknown hacker’s activity. The hacker not only got Vijendra’s profile suspended but also took control of his official news pages associated with the platform.
What Happened?
Vijendra’s Facebook account was wrongly suspended due to an alleged Instagram account link, which he never created or used.
A hacker seems to have linked an unknown Instagram account to his Facebook, leading to an automatic suspension.
All the pages linked to his profile, including Bharat Prime’s official Facebook presence, have been compromised.
Despite multiple appeals to Facebook and Instagram, no response has been received yet.
Urgent Action Required from Meta
As a journalist and media professional, Vijendra relies on social media to share news and updates with the public. Losing access to his account and pages has directly impacted his work and thousands of followers.
We urge Meta, Facebook, and Instagram Support Teams to take immediate action and restore Vijendra’s account and pages.
Cyber Crime Complaint Filed
A formal complaint has been filed on India’s Cyber Crime Portal (cybercrime.gov.in) to investigate this attack and recover the hacked accounts.
Support from the Journalism Community
We call upon journalists, news agencies, and media professionals to stand in solidarity against such cyber-attacks on independent news channels.
