Bhatkal: Following the recent hacking of SahilOnline's YouTube channel, the cyber attack has escalated, with the Instagram account (Sahilonline_bhatkal) falling victim late Friday night. Even more concerning is the discovery that the attack extended to Sahil Online's main computer, which has been compromised by unknown software, allowing hackers to gain access to Instagram after successfully targeting YouTube.

Efforts are underway to regain control of the YouTube channel, with SahilOnline providing crucial information to YouTubers. However, YouTube has yet to restore access to SahilOnline, and ongoing communication via email is being maintained.

In a worrying development, hackers managed to breach the Instagram account around 2:30 am on Friday night. There are concerns that the attackers may attempt to scam SahilOnline subscribers by impersonating the platform. Readers are urged to remain vigilant and avoid responding to any suspicious requests from SahilOnline's Instagram account.

Further investigations have revealed that SahilOnline's main computer itself was the target of a cyber attack, leading to a chain of account breaches facilitated by the installation of unknown software. In response, Sahil Online's technical experts have implemented necessary security measures to prevent further intrusions.
