Tom Hiddleston’s Instagram Gets Hacked — by the Least Imaginative Hacker on the Planet
Tom Hiddleston has been on Instagram for only a few weeks and he’s already been hacked — by the lamest hacker imaginable.
On Friday, while Tommy boy was catching some z’s in Australia, where he has been filming Thor: Ragnarok, someone made seven different uploads to his account. Ole @twhiddleston’s bio was changed to “TEAM.ERORR.4.0.4 @rjz @ikp @dr.rghx @u52 @x3azmii @p9j@x.hrb,” and the posts were to get people to follow those handles on Insta and Snapchat.
All we could think was: No Taylor Swift or Kimye posts? Lame.
The British actor, who has 1 million followers, joined the photo-sharing app on Aug. 9, posting a photo of himself in character as Loki. He’s also posted pics of his co-star Chris Hemsworth, including one of a trip they took to a children’s hospital earlier this week.
By late Friday morning, Team Hiddleston had the star’s account back in order. The unauthorized posts were deleted and he was back to following just 10 people (instead of 20) including Swift.
While Hiddleston films in Australia, his lady love — who he recently hit a rough patch with (though things are apparently back on track) — is back in NYC. But she won’t be attending Sunday’s MTV VMAs because she’s not a nominee. Maybe instead she can FaceTime with Tom and give him pointers on coming up with more secure social media passwords.
