Facebook pages hacked, say theatre groups in Delhi, Mumbai

A number of theatre practitioners in Delhi and Mumbai have had their Facebook pages hacked last weekend.

According to the Delhi Theatre Circuit (DTC) and Mumbai Theatre Circuit (MTC), a hacker was invited to be an admin of the two Facebook pages on Saturday reportedly by Danish Husain, a senior theatre and film actor who had started the groups 12 years ago to connect stage artistes.

However, Husain claimed to have neither invited nor add the hacker as the group admin and said he does not know him or her.

As soon as the hacker joined the groups, Husain was removed from both the pages without his knowledge. In the next few hours, the pages of DTC and MTC were disabled by Facebook.
