Fakhrul's FB account deactivated over hacking fears

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir's verified Facebook account has been temporarily deactivated due to repeated hacking attempts, reports UNB.

"Attempts were being made to hack the account since Friday morning. That is why it has been kept deactivated for now," said BNP Media Cell member Sayrul Kabir Khan.

In the early morning, Fakhrul issued a statement on his verified Facebook account condemning the attacks on several media houses and the assault on New Age Editor Nurul Kabir.

"While the grieving nation was praying for the (departed) soul of martyr Sharif Osman Hadi, shameful attacks were carried out on media organisations, including The Daily Star and Prothom Alo, as well as on respected journalist Nurul Kabir and several others," he said in the post.
