Valeria Lanskaya spoke openly on a Telegram channel, revealing that her social media accounts were hacked. The actress explained that fraudsters used a neural network to imitate her voice and reach out to her friends, asking for money on her behalf. In voice messages, the attackers allegedly pressed colleagues to lend sums ranging from 30,000 to 70,000 rubles.
The situation reportedly involved a notable moment when Olympic champion Alexey Yagudin nearly sent funds, only to be halted by his team after recognizing concerns about the authenticity of the actor’s account within a widely used Ural internet banking platform.
Lanskaya emphasized that most of her communications on Telegram are business-related, which helped her weather the attack. She noted that the hacker used a tone that felt intimate and familiar, prompting recipients to respond quickly, return calls, or request a recorded message for clarification. This uneasy synchrony between the attacker’s impersonation and the audience’s trust created a tense, unsettling scenario for those who know the actress personally or professionally.
Previously, Lanskaya had been married to film director Stanislav Ivanov, with whom she shares a son named Artemy. She clarified that discussions about separation did not arise abruptly; instead, the couple chose to divorce amicably after a difficult period, prioritizing the well-being of their child and maintaining cordial relations for Artemy’s sake.
In a related note, Lolita had previously engaged with social activists after concerts were unexpectedly canceled, highlighting ongoing concerns within the entertainment community about security, communication, and public perception during turbulent times. This broader context underscores how public figures must navigate personal challenges and digital threats while sustaining professional responsibilities and public trust.
