Belgrade-based journalist Ivana Milosavljević, associated with the Center for Investigative Journalism of Serbia (CINS) (https://www.cins.rs/en/), encountered a second attempt to compromise her Instagram profile on Thursday 11 January 2024. The assailants allegedly sent multiple messages containing instructions for altering account data and parameters.
This incident follows a similar attack the previous week that happened of Thursday 4 January 2024.
Suspicions arise, considering Milosavljević’s recent involvement in active investigative reporting. Given the nature of the attacks, believed to be deliberate actions against the journalist due to her work, the incidents have been officially reported to the Special Prosecutor’s Office for High-Tech Crime in Belgrade, Serbia.
