Hackers Get Britney, Ellen

June 29th, 2009 11:51 am

If you saw a strange message from Britney Spears or Ellen DeGeneres on Twitter or Twitpic this weekend, disregard: Someone hacked into their accounts and posted fake information.

The Associated Press reports that Twitpic shut down part of its service due to a "vulnerability" in their posting system.

A message from Britney incorrectly said she had died, and someone also posted false stories to Ellen’s account. Twitpic is used to share photographs, and isn’t owned by Twitter.
