And Finally
Bieber gets revenge on hacker
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 17 August 2010
I think the lesson to be learned here is, if you’re going to hack into someone’s Twitter account, make sure the person whose account is being hacked is not real life friends with one of the internet’s most popular celebrities.
Over the weekend, The Bieber posted a phone number to his 4.5 million followers on the social networking site, inviting them to call or text him. Except at the other end of the line wasn’t the squeaky popstar, it was Detroit teenager Kevin Kristopik, who had apparently hacked into the account of one of Bieber’s friends last month, attempting to get hold of Bieber’s actual phone number.
If you’re wondering what happens when 4.5 million crazed fans suddenly think they’ve got a direct line to their hero, Kristopik handily posted a video to YouTube: youtu.be/b5iE29zyYTU
In the interest of balance, here’s a video of Justin Bieber getting hit in the face: youtu.be/0e50vqY7Szo
