In an unexpected turn of events, OMEGA X, the popular K-pop group, faced a temporary setback as their official Instagram account fell victim to a hacking incident. The group, known for their frequent updates, went silent on the platform since December 15, 2023, leaving fans perplexed.

Uncharacteristic Silence

Fans accustomed to OMEGA X's regular Instagram activity were left in the dark for an unusually prolonged period. The abrupt halt in updates prompted speculations until the group's management, IPQ Entertainment, stepped forward to shed light on the situation.

Statement from IPQ Entertainment

Addressing concerns through Instagram Stories, IPQ Entertainment disclosed that OMEGA X's official Instagram account had been compromised, leading to its temporary deletion.

The company assured fans that immediate action was taken to recover the account, and the efforts proved successful. However, the aftermath of the hacking attempt rendered the original handle, "@omegax_official," unusable.

In response to the security breach, the group was compelled to make a significant change, adopting the new handle "@omega_x_official."

This alteration aimed to mitigate the impact of the hacking attempt and allowed the group to resume their online presence. IPQ Entertainment expressed regret for any inconvenience caused during the temporary suspension of the account.
