Yes, you heard that right. Actor Kritika Kamra’s Gmail and FB account were hacked earlier this week. This has not been the first time that the actor’s account got hacked. Kritika says, “My Gmail and Facebook accounts were recently hacked into. Someone sent me a Google doc claiming it was a script. I clicked on it only to find a blank document. Next thing I know, my accounts were hacked.”

She thanks her MTV Webbed team, for whom she was able to identify the problem. Explaining how thinks alerted her and saved her account, she explains, “The tips I learned from MTV Webbed really helped me identify this immediately. In one of the episodes I learned that Gmail gives you the option of logging into your account through multiple devices or restricting login to one device at a time. So if you choose the restricted setting, Gmail alerts you in case someone is trying to log into your account from another device. This is what alerted me and prevented the hacker from doing damage. In fact there's also a further two code process that Gmail offers which is pretty much foolproof when something like that happens.”

This has happened to her earlier too, but this time our smart lady was able to identify the issue soon before things went out of hands. “The thing is, such a thing happened to me in the past too and back then my images etc. were stolen. But this time I was prepared. Now thanks to what I learned on the show, I surf smart and hence I stayed safe.”

Viewers too, stay smart and surf smart and tune in to MTV Webbed 2 on every Sunday, 7pm.
