KENDALL JENNER
After some racy tweets about Justin Bieber and Caitlyn (Bruce) Jenner's sex change operation were posted from Kendall Jenner's Twitter account in April this year, many suspected the reality TV star was the victim of yet another Twitter hack. The three tweets were quickly taken down and the Twitter handles that appeared in the posts suspended. Kendall, 19, is yet to respond to their appearance.
JUSTIN BIEBER
In March last year, an un known attacker gained access to Justin Bieber's Twit ter account this past week end and re mained in con trol for about 15 minutes.
The hackers tweeted multiple times before Bieber's team re gained control. The tweets said: “Justin Bieber Cem berut?" Cemberut is an In donesian word that roughly translates to “sullen."
MARK ZUCKERBERG
One would believe that if anybody's account on Facebook would be secure from hackers, it would be founder Mark Zuckerberg's. But that wasn't meant to be, for in August 2013, Palestinian researcher Khalil Shreateh posted a message on Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's page after he says the site's security team didn't take his warnings about a security flaw seriously . Khalil wrote, "First, sorry for breaking your privacy and post to your wall. I no other choice to make after all the reports I sent to Facebook team. (sic)"

The actress's Twitter account was hacked by unknown hackers in May 2013, but she quickly regained access to it before much damage could be done. The actress later posted, “Someone has hacked my account. Please ignore weird tweets and requests."
