Israeli sports anchors continue to fall victim to pro-Palestinian hackers.

A few days after the breach of judoka Uri Sasson's Facebook page, Sapir Berman also fell victim to a similar plot.



The transgender judge's Instagram account, which has become a familiar figure in recent months, was hacked by Turkish hackers during a live broadcast, and anti-Israel messages appeared on the screen.



At the bottom of the screen is written: "Sapir Berman sells her Instagram page", and many surfers who joined the live broadcast responded to the burglars with curses.

During the broadcast, the hackers were heard shouting: "Only Bibi."



Berman responded to Walla !: "Thank you very much to all the followers, asking not to cooperate with whoever broke in and not to pay him. I really appreciate the support and love, I make great efforts to return the bill that will be Shabbat Shalom to all of us."

A familiar phenomenon.

So how did the break-in actually happen?

A few days ago, Berman received a private message (directly) from an account impersonating the Instagram support team.

The message states that in order to confirm a blue verification tag, she must provide the personal details for identification.

In practice, these were attackers who wanted to seize control of the account.

As you know, Instagram never addresses users in a private chat message, and certainly not through a private profile.



Hackers usually try to hunt accounts of public figures with a verification tag (blue V), or those with a high number of followers.

Payment is made in Bitcoin, but even then no one can guarantee that person who bought the profile will actually get it.

Three months ago, a hacker took over Eyal Berkowitz's Instagram account and announced that he was selling for $ 2,000, with payment made via Bitcoin.
