Arjun Rampal's X Account Hacked Amidst Social Media Security Debates

Actor Arjun Rampal has revealed that his X account was hacked, issuing a warning to his followers to disregard any messages or tweets from it. This incident follows a similar hacking of lyricist Javed Akhtar's X profile. Rampal is set to star in an untitled Aditya Dhar film.

Renowned actor Arjun Rampal announced on Saturday that his X account had been compromised, urging his followers to ignore any communications from it. The 51-year-old actor broke the news via a post on his official Instagram page.

Rampal stated, 'Not good news my X account been hacked. Please don't respond to any tweets or messages. #accounthacked.'

This comes shortly after prominent lyricist and poet Javed Akhtar disclosed that his X profile was also hacked, with a post regarding the 2024 Paris Olympics shared from his account. Akhtar noted, 'My X ID is hacked. There is a message ostensibly from my account about our Indian team for Olympics. It is totally harmless but not sent by me. We are in the process of complaining to the concern authorities in X (sic).' Rampal's most recent appearance was in the film 'Crakk' alongside Vidyut Jammwal, Nora Fatehi, and Amy Jackson. He is set to feature in an untitled project by Aditya Dhar, alongside Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, and R Madhavan.
