It’s an unpredictable time to be a WWE superstar or a celebrity in general. The recent wave of hacking and leaked nude photos have seemingly put everyone on edge. PW Insider reports WWE has recently taken steps to make sure this doesn’t happen anymore.
In the past year people like Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair, Paige, Xavier Woods and other former WWE talents have been hacked and had nude pictures and/or videos released online. But to be fair, Seth Rollins’ leak had little to do with hacking and more to do with a vengeful ex-girlfriend.
This was a mandatory meeting everyone had to attend and provided many tips on how to protect themselves from cyber attacks. Talents were also given new amendments to their social media contract that they had to sign as well. There is no word on exactly what these new amendments encompassed, but we can only imagine WWE is tightening up their superstars’ social media and internet activity. After all, WWE is a publically traded company and doesn’t want any repeats of similar events of hacking and leaks.
WWE reportedly had these meetings before Raw and SmackDown Live this week to give a class on internet security. WWE can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube when it comes to the leaks that have already happened, but they certainly want to do their best to make sure any further leaks are as much of an impossibility as they can.
One of the methods hackers use to gain access to email accounts is by USB drives given as gifts. WWE talents were told to be aware of this tactic so they don’t get tricked again. Another common way hackers attain passwords is by sending out emails from fake addresses. This tactic seems to be a way hackers are gaining access to iCloud accounts.
WWE obviously means business by bringing in a cyber security firm to give a class to their superstars. Let’s hope the WWE superstars take this advice seriously so there aren’t any more leaks.
