HACKERS TARGET NIGERIAN CELEBS! FLAVOR, D'BANJ, etc. AFFECTED

If last night’s threats are anything to go by, then celebrities using social networks like Twitter need to be very worried. Big names like D’banj, Banky W, Flavour, Wizkid and Don Jazzy came under attack yesterday, as hackers threatened to ‘expose you all’.

As if to show their seriousness, the hacker(s) took over Flavour’s official handle @flavournabania for several minutes, embarking on a tweeting spree and totally compromising the act’s account
What was the first thing Flavour’s attackers did? They immediately replaced his image a with random nude picture and changed his user name to ‘Hacked’. The handle @flavournabania was however not tampered with.
‘#Hacked #Hacked #Hacked’, the tweets read. ‘We’ve had access to this account for a while. We’ve had access to so many other celeb Twitter and Facebook accounts’, more tweets read.
The hackers say over 30 celebs accounts (Twitter and Facebook) have been hacked and that they will ‘expose’ them all.
oh @iamDbanj’s account was the easiest to get into. Dumb password. @Don Jazzyis next, @2faceidibia also…Banky W then @wizkidayo Must be hacked!!!! We’ll expose you all.’.
Flavour’s account has since been suspended; and Don Jazzy, an ardent Tweeter with over 200,000 followers became immediately concerned. ‘Kai if them hack my haccount hi go cry o. I dey beg o. i don delete halllllll my DM sha dey wait’, he tweeted.
