BTS New Album Leaked Online By Hackers
BTS’s much-anticipated comeback album, Love Yourself: Her, has been leaked by hackers.
Just hours before their comeback album was scheduled to drop, all the songs were released online.
Hackers also logged into several idols’ accounts, including Jimin’s, through their official fan cafes and started posting inappropriate content.

They posted a seemingly harmless looking but malicious link, along with text that reads:
“Model-like female students with S-lines waiting for you. Oppas, GO GO (link)”
Those who clicked on the link were allegedly taken to a porn site, and their level in the fan cafe was downgraded.
apparently they were porn links
