Miley’s Twitter Account Hacked

In a celebrity world filled with privacy invasion, Miley Cyrus is the latest victim in a string of Twitter attacks. On the heels of shattered accounts belonging to 30 other high-profile individuals that included Britney Spears, an unidentified individual hacked into Miley`s account and sent various messages that appeared to be coming from the star herself. The statements contained mistakes and foul language, and suggested that Miley hated children and was only in it for the money. Fortunately for Miley, the perpetrator was not intelligent enough to look up the proper spelling of Hannah Montana.
A Twitter consultant has since confirmed that although the company is taking every measure possible to keep up with security issues, it is almost impossible to stay ahead of cybercriminals. He encouraged other Twitter users to choose difficult passwords that no one else could easily guess, and to never share passwords with others. Twitter, often referred to as a mix of Facebook and text messaging, is no less safe than other applications, but users have to take some responsibility for keeping their account safe and avoid any e-mails that may be scams disguised as messages from Twitter.
Of course, even thought the current President of the United States fell victim to a Twitter hack, Miley was singled out as the target of incessant criticism. While the Hannah Montana actress is simply attempting to juggle stardom and ordinary life, she is frequently harassed by the media for her actions. Somehow, the press has yet to realize that hackers are constantly finding new ways to break into accounts and celebrities are just as vulnerable as everyone else.
While an official response has yet to be issued by Miley or any of her representatives, fans are hoping the media will take this one in stride. Holding an individual responsible for circumstances beyond their control is unfair and unjust. Some sources suggest that Miley has been exposed to more scrutiny than other victims because of last year’s hacked e-mail account ordeal, but fans are outraged at the thought. As with many of Miley`s innocent actions, it would be an entirely different story if a regular 16-year old was at the heart of the incident.
