"There are crazy people!": Rebecca Mir defends herself naked against data theft

Rebecca Mir shows herself naked on Instagram. Not entirely voluntarily. Because a photo that she now posts herself is said to have been leaked before. Now the presenter wants to warn against data theft with naked facts.

Attack is the best form of defence, as they often say. A rule that Rebecca Mir is currently following. The former "Germany's next Topmodel" runner-up, who now works as a presenter, posted a topless photo of herself on Instagram that was meant to be a kind of declaration of war.

"Take good care of your data!" she writes to her followers and explains that the picture "in an unpleasant way" fell into the hands of a stranger who "gained access".

Mir leaves it open whether she will use her computer or her mobile phone. "It makes me sad that something like this can happen and that you can't always protect yourself sufficiently," writes the wife of "Let's Dance" pro Massimo Sinató. The couple met - and fell in love - in 2012 when Mir took part in the RTL dance show, which is currently in its 18th season ( streamed here on RTL+ ).

The photo was lying around in her archives. When she took it, she said she liked it, but "somehow never posted it." In the photo, Mir is lying topless on the back of a horse, holding her hands protectively in front of her breasts. She does not explain in her post how Mir found out that this particular photo had been leaked.

Fans should send nude photos

She warns her followers in her Instagram story that fake messages are currently being sent to her contacts in her name. In them, her fans are asked to send nude photos of her that they have to a private email address. Mir, as the alleged sender of the email, wants to "save these pictures again". Her contacts are also promised a personal call because Rebecca Mir wants to discuss a project with them.

"This email is fake!" the presenter warns urgently and writes in shock: "There are really crazy people!"
