Final Thought
The occurrence including the creation of a fake Instagram account mimicking Sitara Ghattamaneni, a girl of famous performing artist Mahesh Babu, has raised concerns over cyber security and the significance of watchfulness on social media stages. The quick reaction from Mahesh Babu’s group and the association of the Madhapur police highlight the reality with which such cybercrime occurrences are being tended to. As the examination proceeds to follow the person behind this misleading act, it serves as an update to the open to take after and connected as it were with confirmed accounts to dodge falling prey to false exercises online. The bolster and sharpness of the community play a significant part in shielding the advanced nearness of people, particularly those within the open eye.
