South African, Cassper Nyovest is the latest local celebrity to fall victim to social media hackers. He first announced that his Twitter account had been hacked through a post on his Instagram Stories on Tuesday.
Shortly thereafter the star claimed he was able to get his account back by paying for it.
“Bought my account back from the hacker but now someone else stole my handle and I lost my verification,” Cassper wrote, asking fans to retweet the post in hopes of being verified by Twitter once again.
