Cybersecurity woes continue to plague Bollywood and South cinema alike, with Studio Green becoming the latest victim. The popular production banner announced on Friday that its X handle fell prey to hackers, leading to the publication of bogus posts unrelated to its core business.
Through an Instagram post, Gnanavel Raja’s company detailed the hack and cautioned followers against engaging with the suspicious content. ‘Our Studio Green X account has been taken over by unknown individuals. We’re collaborating with X’s team for recovery,’ it stated.
The fraudulent messages touched on sensitive geopolitical issues, far removed from the company’s film-centric portfolio. Studio Green firmly distanced itself: ‘We have no involvement in politics or such matters. Ignore all recent posts from that account—they’re entirely fake.’
This development highlights a disturbing trend where high-profile accounts are targeted to spread disinformation. As efforts intensify to reclaim the profile, the incident has ignited discussions on bolstering online defenses for media companies.
Studio Green, behind several pan-India successes, reaffirmed its commitment to entertainment only. Fans await confirmation of the account’s restoration, while the breach raises broader questions about platform accountability in preventing such exploits.
