The media bureau of Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea issued a statement on Monday stating that Geagea's official Instagram account has been hacked, adding that the hackers had requested a sum of money in return for the hacked account.
Accordingly, the party's Information Intelligence apparatus has informed Instagram, whose technicians are working on recovering the account. The LF media bureau has also informed the competent judicial and security authorities about the hacking operation. "We lift our responsibility off everything published on this account until we recover it," Geagea's statement concluded.
