Good day all, It's finally me, Kris B, talking to you in my own personal account. The past few days had been so chaotic for me, especially how my personal life has been risked in danger because of cyberhackers. Good news to everyone that I finally got back my Instagram account after 3 tedious attempts. When I thought I got it back already, the hackers kept on accessing it that I get security codes non-stop even if I'm not doing anything. They attack during 2AM-6AM when I'm supposed to be asleep and is most vulnerable. The first time GMA helped me to retrieve it, the hacker still kept on coming back, sending me messages and calling me on whatsapp, until I secured it. My bf asked me to vlog about it at the moment so I can warn my followers immediately, in case the hacker uses my account to get money etc. The vlog I posted was as real and raw as it is, as I became so emotional thinking about the consequences of the situation. ????

She narrated how cyberhackers would access her account during the vulnerable hours between 2am to 6am.

"When I thought I got it back already, the hackers kept on accessing it that I get security codes non-stop even if I'm not doing anything. They attack during 2am-6am when I'm supposed to be asleep and is most vulnerable," she continued.

According to Kris, GMA also tried to help her retrieve her social media accounts but the hackers kept attacking, "sending me messages and calling me on whatsapp, until I secured it."

Kris said it was her boyfriend to suggested she vlog about the incident and in real time to warn her followers. 

She admitted to being upset and emotional while shooting the vlog. 

"The vlog I posted was as real and raw as it is, as I became so emotional thinking about the consequences of the situation."

Her post is only one of the three part series that she has yet to conclude. 

Kris announced that her account has been hacked since 3am last September 22.

She said the hacker messaged and called her through WhatsApp, demanding her to pay more than $700 to get back her accounts. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
