Sony Twitter account hacked, claimed Britney Spears died<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sony Twitter account hacked, claimed Britney Spears died:-<\/strong> The Twitter account of Sony Music falsely tweeted Monday that Britney Spears had died, featuring separate postings that read: “RIP @britneyspears #RIPBritney 1981-2016,” and “Britney spears is dead by accident! We will tell you more soon #RIPBritney.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Separately, the official Twitter account for Bob Dylan featured a tweet that read: “Rest in peace @britneyspears” at roughly the same time of the Sony account tweets \u2014\u00a0 which later were deleted.<\/span><\/p>\n

A representative for the 35-year-old pop star told CNN the death claim was erroneous.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I assume their account has been hacked,” Spears’ manager, Adam Leber, told the news channel. “I haven’t spoken to anyone… as of yet but I am certain their account was hacked. Britney is fine and well. There have been a few Internet clowns over the years who have made similar claims about her death, but never from the official Sony Music Twitter account.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Sony confirmed Monday afternoon that its Sony Music Entertainment Twitter account had been “compromised.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“This has been rectified,” the company said in a formal statement. “Sony Music apologizes to Britney Spears and her fans for any confusion.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The global media company has been victimized by hacking in the past, most notably by a 2014 cyberattack on Sony Pictures Entertainment by a group that called themselves the Guardians of Peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

That attack is thought to have been a retaliatory move for a satirical movie called The Interview, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, about bungling journalists who coordinate an assassination of North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un.<\/span><\/p>\n
