The twitter account of a famous south korean singer Eun Hyuk (@AllRiseSilver) has been hacked and is now the latest addition to the long list of famous celebrities that were hacked this year.
Tweet: "So my account had been hacked into. No wonder that other time a tweet I had never written came up and was erased again... Now I′m following ′Heenim′ (Heechul), who isn′t even on Twitter anymore? Who′s impersonating him this time? Yeah, great."
After recovering his account he tweeted (Translated) : You've got my account hacked. Somehow came up the last time I AIME Mentions were erased ... with huinim post say matpal? Spivey, who impersonate? It vs. or http:// twitpic.com/cail69
Unlike other twitter hacks this does not seem like an attempt to exploit the users by attempting to infect them or stealing traffic.It looks like it was just done "for fun" .
The most interesting thing is the followers reaction to this .
As you can see these sort of hacks lead to a negative attitude towards hackers.
Yet famous people on twitter should note that they are also equally responsible for these sort of hacks. They have the moral responsibility to keep their accounts secure as possible, cause when they get hacked they are also putting at risk all the innocent users that are following them.
