Judd Trump Claims Instagram Account Was Hacked After Explicit Video Post

Judd Trump's Instagram account was hacked, the snooker star claimed, after an explicit video appeared on his profile.

The video, which showed a man exposing himself in a hotel room, was swiftly removed.

The incident occurred on Sunday, with Trump's followers left stunned by the explicit content.

Trump, 36, released a statement asserting that his account had been compromised.

The statement, which was later deleted, read: "Just a quick note to let everyone know that my Instagram account was hacked."

The hacking incident comes at a sensitive time for Trump, who has just exited the World Championship at the last-16 stage.

Trump was beaten by Hossein Vafaei in a dramatic final-frame decider at the Crucible.

The 36-year-old had claimed the German Masters title earlier this year, defeating Shaun Murphy 10-4 in the final.

Trump's account remains publicly visible, with over 325,000 followers on Instagram.

Screenshots of the explicit video continue to circulate online, despite Trump's efforts to contain the situation.

And Trump will be looking to regain control of his account and move on from the incident.

But the hacking incident has raised concerns about the security of social media accounts, particularly for high-profile individuals like Trump.

So Trump will be working to prevent similar incidents in the future.

The World No.1 has a strong online presence, with a large following across various social media platforms.

Trump's personal life has been subject to scrutiny in the past, with the snooker star preferring to keep a low profile.

The hacking incident has brought unwanted attention to Trump, who will be looking to focus on his snooker career.

Trump has been in good form recently, with the German Masters title his 31st ranking title.

The win reinforced his position as world No.1, with Trump looking to continue his success in upcoming tournaments.
