Keith Duffy, a member of Boyzone, spoke up about his daughter Mia’s “stress and worry” when her Instagram account was hijacked by cyber hackers.
The 48-year-old musician published an image of a social media profile imitating his kid, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 18 months.
He disclosed that the crooks were posing as Mia, 23, and texting her followers from the bogus account.
Along with the screenshot, the celebrity sent an emotional statement in big letters that read: ‘Urgent!! Anyone who got a message from my daughter Mia’s account should be informed that her account has been hacked and fraudsters are sending messages posing as her.
‘Please report and ignore all messages. Mia is very private and this has really upset her and caused a lot of stress and anxiety [sic].’
Fans expressed their support for the No Matter What singer in the comments section beneath his photo, promising to denounce the abuse of information.
