Hackers eye X Factor judge Sonu Nigam’s email


Hacking is not new for anyone now. The X Factor judge Sonu Nigam is the latest celebrity victim whose email account had got hacked. It is not only the account that was hacked (only for fun?). What is the use of hacking such a celebrity’s account if no mails are sent?
It exactly happened in the same way. Whoever was on the singer’s list all got an e-mail. Well, they were not just mails, but are known to be filled with some sort of abuse in it. Now, what exactly were the abusive contents, has not been made public by Sonu yet.
It is understood that even those people were sent the mails with whom Sonu Nigam had not contacted for a period of about six to eight years. When Sonu came to know this, he was obviously shocked.
What is more shocking is that the mails were circulated when Sonu was busy shooting for the show. It is but natural that it was not he who was sending the mails. No wonder, Sonu apologized to all who had got the mails (supposedly by him); though it was clear it was not he who sent them.
Fortunately enough, Sonu has got by the control over his account. He has made the necessary changes in the password and the security information. To be on the safer side, he is pondering over officially informing the cyber cell of the Mumbai police.
