BANDUNG - The Instagram social media account belonging to the Bandung Zoo, West Java, namely @bandung_zoological was hacked. The hacker offered the account to the public.
Marketing Communication (Marcom) Bandung Zoo or Bandung Zoological Garden, Sulhan Syafi'i, said his party appealed to the public to unfollow and report old IG accounts.
"And we urge you to follow our new IG, namely @official_bazoga," said Sulhan as quoted by Antara, Thursday, November 18.
Sulhan said the Bandung Zoo manager was worried that hackers would use the IG account for certain purposes, such as collecting funds from the public.
"Our concern is that the hijacked IG Bazoga will be used for fundraising," he said.
According to him, all this time, the management of the Bandung Bintang Gardens has indeed used the IG account to collect funds from the public in order to provide food assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
