Celebrities just love being on twitter. For them, its a way to keep in touch with their fans and to ensure you keep on reveling in their awesomeness.
For the past couple of days, some of that awesomeness has been hacked into. Big names ranging from the father of social networking himself, Mark Zuckerberg to musicians like Drake, Lana Del Ray, Kylie Jenner. The hackers called 'OurMine Team' have mostly found the password's in the LinkedIn security breach. Apparently most people fail to change their passwords or use the same passwords for multiple accounts, something that experts would advice you never to do. Zuckerberg's password was 'dadada'. Witht at kinda password, not in the least surprising that he was hacked. The hackers for now though are posting racist slurs, hate speech, graphic language and content and shout-outs to themselves.
Whether you are a celeb or not though, its worth you changing your password right now. You never know what other more important accounts and data the hackers may access with your stolen password.

117 million LinkedIn emails and passwords just got posted online
Got a profile on LinkedIn? You just might need to reset your
password. LinkedIn announced this morning that another data set from a
hack suffered in 2012 which contains over 100 million LinkedIn members’ emails
and passwords, has now been released.In 2012, hackers stole some 6.5 million encrypted
passwords fro LinkedIn and posted them onto a Russian hacker forum.
If you had
a LinkedIn account since 2012 and you have not changed the password, you should
be worried. I f the password has been used on other sites as well you should
also be worried. But even if you don’t fall under any of these categories, it
is advisable that you change it anyway not just on LinkedIn but on any other
site where you use the same password.
LinkedIn in a statement on its website says it is taking immediate steps to invalidate the
passwords of the accounts impacted, and we will contact those members to reset
their passwords
