Hack attack on poker queen

-

WEALTHY poker queen Beth Shak, who is currently going through a divorce with Fox News’ Rick Leventhal, has been attacked by an aggressive cyber hacker who has stolen topless pictures from her iCloud.

The hacker launched a full-scale attack on Shak in early April, hacking into her bank account, her e-mail and cellphone, attacking her social media accounts — even her dog Mila’s Instagram — and changing passwords.

Shak has fled New York after also being followed for days by a mysterious stranger. She was also ominously warned, “Make the most of every day you breathe the air above ground.”

She has notified the cops, hired cyber special- ists and an attorney, and is sending subpoenas to Apple, Google, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

“Beth has no idea who is doing this, but she intends to find out. She won’t stop until the person doing this persuasive hacking is in jail,” said a source with direct knowledge of the situation.

Her cyber ordeal started on April 6, when her Gmail passwords were changed multiple times. Her iCloud was hacked, and three topless pictures were taken along with other personal details. Shak’s Wells Fargo password was changed two times, and someone logged in to look at her balances, but no money was taken. The hacker deleted a personal message she posted on Facebook, and made 36 attempts to change her eBay password from three different IP addresses. Her LinkedIn account was deactivate­d and her Twitter and Instagram settings were changed, locking her out. Even more frightenin­g, she was followed by a mystery man. “She is being stalked and harrassed,” the source added.

Top Philadelph­ia criminal attorney George Bochetto is repping Shak, and he said, “I am deeply disturbed by what’s been happening to her and I am going to do everything I can to help her.”

Shak’s ex Leventhal added, “I have no interest in following her or accessing any of her accounts. All I’ve wanted since she filed for divorce is a smooth, amicable resolution. I have no idea who might want to hack her or why.”
