Arkin del Rosario remains composed despite his Instagram account being compromised, and he offers a calm message to those who have suffered similar social media breaches—one encouraging strength and perseverance.

Recently, mirror selfies and sensi!tive v!de0s of Arkin del Rosario were circulated online, revealing private moments that were apparently captured on May 11, 2025, Sunday. These photos and videos were posted directly to his Instagram account.

In an exclusive interview with PEP.ph at a coffee shop on Tomas Morato Avenue, Quezon City, on May 17, Saturday, Arkin candidly shared, “My IG was hacked.” He explained, “The pr!vate ph0tos and v!deos that should not have been released became visible on social media to the public. Uhm, I wasn’t aware of what was happening or what exactly occurred. But I am grateful for the friends who were concerned.”

Arkin further revealed, “I don’t know what happened, but I think my Instagram had been hacked for quite some time. I only found out about two weeks ago that the phone number(s) linked to my Instagram had changed.”

He emphasized the importance of security: “Alarming! That’s why we need extra security when it comes to our phone, our social media accounts. We really need tight security there.”

Current Status of Arkin del Rosario’s Instagram Account

Arkin, known for starring in two BL (Boys’ Love) series in 2020, is not the first content creator to face such an ordeal. Another BL actor experienced a similar hacking in 2024, which also led to the leak of exp0sed mirror selfies. According to sources close to that actor, the hacker was from abroad, and the actor had to pay to recover his account.

As for Arkin’s Instagram account, he sighed, “As of today, I don’t have access to my account. I can’t open my Facebook or Instagram accounts right now. But efforts are underway. When incidents like this happen, there are ways to address them.”

Currently, searching for Arkin’s Instagram results in the message:
"Sorry, this page isn't available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed. Go back to Instagram."
He is also untraceable on Facebook.

Clarifying Misconceptions

Some speculated that Arkin himself posted the int!mate content. Arkin firmly denied these claims: “Hindi po totoo iyan!” He had recently wrapped filming the Vivamax movie Table For 3 alongside Topper Fabregas.

Rumors circulated that he might become an @dult content creator or open accounts on platforms like OnlyFans, Just For Fans, or Fanly. Arkin dismissed these: “Wala po. Hindi po totoo iyan.”

When asked how he felt upon learning about the viral photos and videos exposing his pr!vate moments, he replied, “Nagulat. Nagulat ako. Ahh…”

Support from Friends

Arkin shared how friends reached out after the hacking incident: “Messages. They sent messages. That’s when I learned my Instagram was hacked,” he said softly. “There is someone else managing the account now.”

On Taking and Sharing Int!mate Photos

In light of the leak, questions arose about why he took such photos and videos, wondering if it was part of his adventurous spirit. Arkin thoughtfully responded, “Tinitingnan ko lang po ang progress ng katawan ko.”

As an actor, assessing his physique is a necessary part of his profession.

Regarding the possibility of more daring projects than Table For 3, he said, “Konserbatibo po tayo. If I do those kinds of things, it would be private. Only with my partner.” He also admitted that he once dreamed of becoming a priest during his youth.

Message to Hackers and Victims

When asked what he would say to hackers, Arkin smiled and said, “Ha?! Good luck! God bless.”

To others who have experienced hacking, he expressed empathy:

“Not only those who get hacked, especially since we just came out of a pandemic,” he said.

“We’ve been through so much—mental health, psychological health. We don’t advise cyberbullying, invading someone’s private life, photos, or images without consent or knowledge. When they find out, they have the right to speak up. They have the right to complain. They have the right to express how they feel to anyone.”

He stressed the importance of support systems:

“Your family should be your safe place, your safe space. Your true friends need to be there. Your support system must be strong and resilient.”

Final Thoughts

Arkin acknowledged that his situation is not unique:ư

“Many people go through this kind of trial. Those who get hacked, and then when they find out, they get threatened. That’s not right. Speak out. You must speak out. Don’t be intimidated. Don’t be frightened.”

He affirmed the validity of expressing emotions:

“And if they say you’re complaining because your voice got loud, because you cried out for what you went through—that’s valid. It’s a valid reason. It’s a valid emotion. You have the right to express what you feel.”
