Taylor Swift's Twitter and Instagram accounts have been hacked.

Taylor Swift 

 

One of the now deleted hacked tweets urged people to follow a Twitter account alleging to be associated with Lizard Squad, a hacking group that has claimed responsibility for several high-profile corporate hacks in the past year including the recent Malaysia Airlines hacking.

The star told fans yesterday after her account had been restored, that Twitter was locking her account and providing her with new passwords.

Swift is the owner of the fourth largest Twitter account with some 50 million followers making this breach one of the biggest in Twitter's history.

The hackers also threatened to leak nude photos of the singer. Swift lashed out at the hackers on Twitter telling them they had nothing to show.
