KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 — Jaya Grocer has issued a warning to its customers regarding a security breach on its Instagram account. The supermarket chain revealed that hackers had gained access to their social media profile and posted fraudulent promotional content. These posts claimed to offer enticing prizes such as gold bars, iPhones, and other gifts, and directed users to a Telegram account.
However, Jaya Grocer emphasized that they were not responsible for these promotions and urged customers not to engage with the posts in any way. On their official Facebook page, the company stated, "Jaya Grocer is not running these promotions." They explicitly instructed consumers not to click on any links contained within the posts, not to contact the Telegram account, and not to make any payments.
In the event that individuals had already interacted with the deceptive posts, Jaya Grocer advised them to contact their respective banks immediately and to file a police report. The supermarket chain confirmed that they were actively working to regain control of their Instagram account and pledged to provide further updates once they became available.
