Last year, candid photographs of Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus were posted on the internet after a hacker broke into her email. Now it seems she's been hacked again - but this time it's her Twitter account that has been compromised.
It appears that Miley, daughter of "Achy breaky heart" legend Billy Ray Cyrus, wasn't taking enough care over her password security as someone was able to break into her Twitter account and peppered the page with a number of poorly-spelt offensive messages.
The staff at Twitter appear to have responded quickly to the defacement, and shut down Miley Cyrus's Twitter page.
"This is just the latest hacking incident to happen on Twitter and chances are it's not going to be the last," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos.
"Cybercriminals are only ever one step behind the latest computer craze and as tweeting has been growing in popularity, the hackers have been quick to realise the potential in hacking these accounts."
"It appears that Miley didn't learn the lesson last year and hasn't been taking enough care over her password security," Cluely added in reference to an incident last year when hackers broke into her email account and stole photographs of the star, which were later posted on the web.
