Don’t Take Advantage of Celebrity Deaths on Twitter

Sadly, several celebrities have died in the past week. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and Billy Mayes. Social media has nearly taken the Internet down, breaking news, sharing personal stories and spreading their own thoughts and feelings regarding these tragedies. So why would someone take advantage of the morbid trend by hacking into a celebrity Twitter account and reporting that they too have passed away?

In light of the untimely deaths of so many celebrities in such a short period of time, it’s just creepy and unnecessary for a hacker to break into Brittney Spears’ Twitter account and spread rumors that she is dead. The hacker even went so far as to us the pop singer’s twitpic account for effect. While Spears has since updated her Twitter account and Twitter itself says it’s working on the particular vulnerability that allowed the twitpic hack, one has to wonder at the thought process behind such a hack.

How to Handle a Twitter DM Gone Wild

We all make mistakes. We’re human. But when we make big blunders in public, for all to witness, then it can turn into a pretty ugly situation. Take Tameka Foster, for example, who mistakenly made a private Twitter message public. The estranged wife of Usher Raymond, Foster accidentally sent a Twitter message to her public stream when she meant to send a private, direct message to fellow celeb buddy Star Jones.

In the message, Foster complains about her current lawyer and asks Star Jones for suggestions in her search for a new attorney. As Foster is in the middle of a very public divorce from her superstar husband, the blunder is especially noteworthy and embarrassing.
