"My Facebook page was recovered this afternoon and we now have access to it. But I think cybercrime is on the rise across the world. Technology is both beneficial as well as harmful. We would want that there should be an update so that hackers are not able to misuse it," she remarked.
Earlier in the day, she informed about the hacking incident on X.
"This is to inform all that I've been unable to access my Facebook page since a few days, it has been hacked. We're trying to recover it as soon as possible. If there is any unusual activity through my page, please be aware of it," she posted at 8:45 pm.
