Lil Wayne’s Twitter account pushes to down after hack assault

Lil Wayne’s Twitter account has been taken offline, after a celebrity hacked into the well-liked rapper’s account this weekend and posted a series of joke post.A hacker, who apparently guesses the singer’s password, sent a series of bizarre post to Lil Wayne’s 1.2 million groups – counting impolite tweets to celebrity pals 50 Cent, Soulja Boy and The Game. According to AllHipHop.com, some of the verbal communication used was extremely unpleasant.

 

 

Mind you, some fan of music like that is almost certainly used to repugnant language.

Lil Wayne has at the present shut down his Twitter account, which went by the name @liltunechi. To be truthful, he hasn’t had the most excellent of times on Twitter – his sheet was before hacked late last year, with fake news being posted about future performance.

 

Clearly if he can’t keep manage of his Twitter account; it’s improved that it be disabling.

If nil else, this case prove that just since a Twitter account is “verified” it doesn’t signify that it actually is the celebrity (or an authorized representative) who is responsibility the tweeting. Additional celebrity who have had their Twitter accounts hack in the past include Axl Rose, politican Ed Miliband, Britney Spears and plumy-voiced TV property crumpet Kirsty Allsopp.

 

 

Make certain that you always choose a non-dictionary word that’s firm to guess as your Twitter password, and by no means use the same password on numerous websites. Also, be on your protector next to phishing sites and make sure that your processor is organization up-to-date anti-virus software to protect against key logging spyware which may attempt to take your information.

 

Finally, consider carefully which third-party applications and websites you allow to attach with your Twitter account.

Britney Spears has her Twitter account hacked Once More

Just over two months ago I explained on Twitter why I was next Britney Spears. In a nutshell, I pursue Britney on Twitter not because I’m involved in her music or her complex private life, but since it’s the best way of getting a heads-up on when her account next gets hacked.

Ironically enough, I wasn’t on Twitter nowadays as I was downward in London language at the “Information Security in the Public Sector” meeting about social networking threats.

So, where’s the irony? Well, while I was chatting about some of Britney’s past plight on Twitter her account was being hacked – again!

This occasion the bad guys replace her wallpaper and profile picture with emblems signifying she was part of some conspiratorial masonic secret world government (as far as I know, this isn’t true about Britney, although I have from time to time supposed she might be a shape-shifting lizard):

Some post were also posted to her legions of followers (over 3.7 million at the last count);

I expect that the new world order will arrive as soon as possible! -Britney

And

I give myself to Lucifer every day for it to arrive as quickly as possible. Glory to Satan!

 

I deduce we should be thankful that these hacks appear to have been mindless damage rather than aggravated by more malicious intentions. Imagine, for example, if the hacker had posted a message saying “Free tickets to a secret concert” which had taken some of Britney Spears’s millions of ardent fans to a malicious website? It’s not clear at this stage how Britney’s Twitter account was compromised – but probably the most likely bet is that a simple easy-to-crack password was being used or that one of Britney’s team fell for a phishing attack.

The Twitter account of Britney Spears does come into view to have now been brought back to order, and regret was posted to her followers:

 

However the attack happened it’s a opportune reminder to all of us (whether responsible for Twitter accounts with a small or huge following) to take greater care with our online security.
