Suspicious iPhone 16 Pro Max Promo? Singer Nadeera's Instagram Reportedly Hacked
It's even more troubling if you're a public figure with thousands or even millions of followers, as hackers and scammers are more likely to exploit the account or even just your name for personal gain. That's exactly what appears to have happened to Malaysian singer Nadeera, whose account seems to have been hacked after fans noticed suspicious activity. Here's what happened:
Recently, Nadeera had been posting her usual updates on Instagram, including appearances and performances. However, on Wednesday (2nd July), fans began to suspect something was wrong. The singer's account suddenly promoted a suspicious sale offering three iPhone 16 Pro Max units at a cheap price. The caption read: 'Why cheap? Because the cheap redemption that we are holding is a gift and a sign of our gratitude for the profit exceeding the target. Therefore, we are holding this special for our loyal followers and the fastest winners.'
If the unusual photo and caption weren't already a red flag, the post was signed off as 'Admin' rather than Nadeera herself – a clear indication that her account had most likely been hacked. The account later posted a similar photo, claiming that one unit had already been sold and that only two iPhone 16 Pro Max units remained, likely an attempt to pressure potential victims into acting quickly before the supposed promotion ended. The comments sections on both posts were also disabled, a clear move to prevent fans from warning others that it was a scam.
Following the incident, Nadeera's agency, Rocketfuel Entertainment, issued a statement confirming that her Instagram account had indeed been hacked. They also warned fans not to click on any links related to the alleged iPhone 16 Pro Max promotion. 'We're in the process of retrieving the account. We appreciate all the information fans have provided,' the company wrote.
It's truly unfortunate that this has happened to Nadeera, and we hope she regains access to her account soon. If her agency chooses to file a police report, there's also the possibility of taking legal action against the hacker.

In the spirit of Nusantara, Marsha Milan, the music queen of Borneo, celebrates her new album with a free listening party with fans
Malaysian music Queen of Borneo, Marsha Milan, wants to celebrate and invite all her fans for a free jamming session in Kuala Lumpur/ It will be an intimate celebration filled with the beauty of sound, culture, and art, Marsha will be performing with a special event, "Misompuru: Borneo Album Listening Session" on 13 July 2025 (Sunday), from 4 to 6 pm at RXP, REX KL. The singer who in February won the Anugerah Juara Lagu 2025 title for the song "Hening Rindu" has now notched up another success in her long glittering career with the launch of her new album "Misompuru". 'Misompuru' is a term derived from the Dusun language, meaning 'gathering' in English, or 'crowd' in Malay. Through this session, Marsha aims to translate that spirit by bringing together fans and media representatives to fully appreciate and enjoy the uniqueness of Borneo music. As a work born from a deep love for her homeland, "Misompuru" emerges as Marsha Milan's love letter to Borneo. It brings together elements of nostalgia, strength of spirit, and longing for her hometown, which makes this work close to the hearts of listeners, especially Borneo residents who always want to return to enjoy it. With a rhythm and musical style that reflects the unique taste of Sabah and Sarawak, which is different from the music of the Peninsular, "Misompuru" brings a fresh voice to a genre that is rarely featured in the mainstream music industry. Even more proud, "Misompuru" also paved the way for Marsha Milan to break into the international stage. After winning the AJL39 trophy, she was recently invited to the ROUND ASEAN-Korea Music Festival 2025, to bring songs from this album as representatives of Borneo's identity. This proves that Misompuru is not just an album, but a manifestation of heritage art that is now recognized globally, befitting the Queen of Borneo, Malaysia. "Misompuru: Borneo Album Listening Session" is not just about music; it is an immersive and interactive cultural experience, bringing together elements of Borneo music, art, and tradition in one space. Admission is free, but seating is limited, so make sure to register early for a live performance of all five songs from the Misompuru album, Cultural demonstrations and dances such as Magunatip, Sumpit and Sumazau, Traditional Borneo food and drink offerings and a stall offering exclusive Marsha Milan merchandise Marsha also encourages all fans coming to the show to come dressed in Borneo fashion, and she will herself present the best-dressed fans with special gifts.

Liverpool star Diogo Jota and brother killed in Spain car crash 03 Jul 2025 05:08pm The Civil Guard said a vehicle veered off a motorway in the municipality of Cernadilla in the northwestern province of Zamora, confirming the deaths of Jota and his brother Andre Felipe. - Photo source: diogoj_18/Instagram MADRID - Liverpool and Portugal forward Diogo Jota and his brother died in a car crash in northwestern Spain on Thursday, police said, weeks after the star got married. The Civil Guard said a vehicle veered off a motorway and burst into flames shortly after midnight in the municipality of Cernadilla in the province of Zamora, confirming the deaths of Jota, 28, and his brother Andre. "Everything points to the blowout of a tyre while it (the vehicle) was overtaking," the Civil Guard said in a statement. Portuguese football federation president Pedro Proenca wrote on social media that he was "devastated", calling Jota "an extraordinary person, respected by all his colleagues and opponents, someone blessed with an infectious joy and a reference for his own community". Proenca said they had asked UEFA for a minute's silence before Portugal's Women's Euro 2025 match against Spain in Switzerland on Thursday. "We have lost two champions. The death of Diogo and Andre Silva are irreparable losses for Portuguese football, and we will do everything possible to honour their legacy every day," Proenca added. Jota had married his partner Rute Cardoso on June 22, posting a video of their wedding on Instagram just hours before the accident. They had three children. The former Atletico Madrid, Porto and Wolverhampton Wanderers star scored nine goals in all competitions last season as Liverpool cruised to their 20th Premier League title. - AFP More Like This
