Australian cricketer Shane Watson took to Twitter to apologise to his following that he had fallen victim to hackers, as his Instagram account, boasting of 1.2 million followers was hacked earlier today.

This apology comes following the unfortunate hacking of his Twitter handle late last week, where both his profile photo and bio were changed.

Watson's last Instagram post places him at Chennai's Velammal Vidyalaya where he was speaking to the school children when his official Instagram account was flooded with inappropriate photos and the bio changed to 'Join the Shadow realm'. 

His team is still working to recover the account.

My apologies to everyone for the illicit photos that have been posted on my Instagram account.
First my Twitter account on Friday got hacked and now Instagram today.
Instagram needs to help out a lot quicker when things like this happens. This is taking way too long!!!
