Breaking: Actress Payal Ghosh becomes victim to Pakistan’s ‘Dance Of The Hillary’ malware attack amidst India-Pakistan war scenario

Actress Payal Ghosh who’s best known for her body of work in movies like Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi, Fire Of Love: Red, Mr. Rascal, Prayanam and many more has unfortunately fallen prey to a cyber attack initiated by Pakistan amidst the India-Pakistan war scenario. Yes, that’s right. At a time when political tensions between the two countries are at its peak and Pakistan is using its cyber cells to penetrate Indian servers, Payal has unfortunately become a victim of this trap unintentionally. She fell prey to Pakistan’s ‘Dance Of The Hillary’ malware which specifically targets Indian users via messaging apps. Payal unfortunately ended up clicking on a link that came in one of her digital platforms and ever since then, she received suspicious login warnings from unwarranted sources. On being asked more about the same, Payal shares,

“I am usually careful when it comes to staying away from unknown links but this came on Instagram from one of the accounts I know and hence I opened. After I opened it, the platform sent me a login warning from an unknown source. The moment I realized it has the same extension, (tasksche.exe) and it originated from Pakistan, I immediately reported the activity and changed my password and credentials. In this crucial time, Pakistan is trying its best to get into our systems. I unfortunately fell prey but immediately recovered. I wanted to share this from my end so that people are careful and aware to not repeat the same mistake. May God and forces be with all of us.”

Well, kudos to Payal for using her impromptu thinking and managing to come out of the situation with immediate effect. Here’s hoping and wishing that everything remains fine at her end. Stay tuned for more updates.
