By Ians English
Actress
Kritika
Kamra,
the
host
of
cyber
crime-related
TV
show
has
got
herself
in
a
bit
of
a
situation.
Her
online
accounts
are
hacked!
"MTV
Webbed
2",
became
a
victim
of
hacking.
Her
email
and
Facebook
accounts
were
hacked
recently,
but
she
says
her
experience
on
the
show
helped
her
take
notice
of
the
issue
quickly.
"My
Gmail
and
Facebook
accounts
were
recently
hacked
into.
Someone
sent
me
a
Google
document
claiming
it
was
a
script.
I
clicked
on
it
only
to
find
a
blank
document.
The
next
thing
I
knew
-
my
accounts
were
hacked.
But
the
tips
I
learned
from
'MTV
Webbed'
really
helped
me
identify
this
immediately," said
Kritika.
She
said
that
in
one
of
the
episodes
of
the
show,
she
learnt
that
Gmail
gives
a
user
an
option
of
logging
into
his
or
her
account
via
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,"
she
said.
This
is
not
the
first
time
that
Kritika
has
faced
this
hacking.
"Such
a
thing
happened
to
me
in
the
past
too
and
back
then
my
images
and
other
important
documents
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,"
she
added.
"MTV
Webbed
2"
is
a
show
conceptualized
to
raise
awareness
about
the
safe
usage
of
the
internet.
It
was
recently
extended
to
24
episodes
from
the
initial
run
of
16
episodes
due
to
its
increasing
popularity.
