Lenskart, the popular eyewear platform, has fallen victim to a cyber attack on its Instagram account. Four hours ago, hackers managed to gain access to the company’s Instagram account and uploaded four images, according to reports. These images were not uploaded by the company but by the hackers.
The incident was first reported by Startupnews.fyi, who reached out to Lenskart for further information about the incident. At present, it is unclear how the hackers gained access to the account, and whether any sensitive information was compromised. It is also not clear if Lenskart has contacted Instagram to recover the account or if they have made any statement regarding the breach.
The incident has raised concerns about the security of e-commerce companies, especially those with a significant online presence. With an increasing number of businesses relying on social media platforms to connect with their customers, hackers are always on the lookout for vulnerabilities that they can exploit.
In the past, there have been several instances of social media accounts being hacked, with hackers using the platform to spread malicious content or to scam users. Companies need to be more vigilant about their social media accounts, especially those that have a significant following.
They need to ensure that their accounts are adequately secured, and they have measures in place to detect and respond to any suspicious activity.
At present, it is unclear what the impact of the breach will be on Lenskart’s operations. However, the incident serves as a reminder to businesses to take their cybersecurity seriously and to implement robust security measures to protect their online assets.
