Taylor Swift’s social media hacked and threaten nude leaks

The 'Blank Space' singer - who is currently vacationing in Hawaii - had her Twitter and Instagram accounts taken over by a mystery user yesterday, with postings on her microblogging page asking fans to follow two users, @lizzard and @veriuser,both of whom claim to be linked to hacking group the Lizard Squad.

The two accounts were suspended and the tweets deleted, but one posted a link to a Bitcoin account alongside a message which read: "Will post taylor swift's nudes when this btc wallet hits 3btc."

It hasn't been confirmed if the exchanges were real.

According to E! News, undesirable pictures such as a man on a toilet was posted on Taylor’s Instagram account.
