A Twitter account being hacked is not really an uncommon thing. But it becomes big news when it's the account of the most followed person on Twitter. The @KatyPerry account boasts an astounding 89 million followers, which comes in at more than the actual @Twitter account, that only has 55 million. 

Yesterday May 30th several suspicious tweets were sent out from Katy's account. One clear indication that something was off  with Ms. Perry's account was when the random homophobic and racists tweets started appearing. In one tweet she calls @keemstar a "Fag" and then later on shouted out Chief Keef's' crew, the "OTF Gang". This would probably cause many to speculate that Chief Keef may be behind the security breach as the two had a nasty feud on twitter back in 2013. 

Whoever was behind the intrusion may never be found out, but this should be a warning to all twitter user to take the right steps to ensure a secure twitter experience.
