Glaiza de Castro alerts public about suspicious emails and links on social media
Kapuso actress Glaiza de Castro informed her followers that her Instagram (IG) account, which was hacked on Wednesday, has been recovered the following day, Thursday, June 25.
Glaiza announced the news on her official IG account, @glaizaredux, along with a warning about the proliferation of cyber crimes these days.
“Guys, pinangatawanan ni @glaizaredux ang username niya. Nagbalik siya!,” she said.
The singer-actress also thanked the people who helped recover her account.
“Maraming salamat sa mga nag-abot ng concern, tumulong at nagdasal. Sorry din sa mga nabahala at 'di nakatulog,” she continued.
Glaiza then alarmed the public about unverified emails and suspicious links on social media.
“Grabe, sa panahon ngayon hindi lang talaga pisikal ang krimen, at mas nakakatakot, hindi mo nakikita ang mukha ng kalaban.
“Kaya ingat tayo sa mga naki-click natin, mga natatanggap nating emails or links at mga binibigay nating impormasyon online.
“Salamat friends at salamat Facebook Team, saludo ako sa inyo!,” she added.
