If Cher was “upset” a couple of days ago when hackers hijacked her Twitter account to promote shady weight loss products, it’s safe to say Alec Baldwin was really upset when the same thing happened to him.

According to E Hacking News, Alec Baldwin’s “Alec Baldwin Foundation” Twitter account was also abused to lure his 1 million followers to shady websites.

“This [expletive] hacking weight loss [expletive]. GOOOOOODDD!!!” he wrote on Twitter shortly after recovering his account.

“IGNORE this weight loss trash. I mean, I'm all for weight loss. But DAMN!!!” he added.

The number of celebrities whose accounts are compromised by hackers is growing by the week, but actors and singers don’t seem to be willing to learn some basic security practices to help them avoid such incidents.

Of course, there are a lot of ways in which hackers can gain access to a Twitter account, but if you set a strong password and if you make sure you don’t enter your credentials on fake websites, you considerably decrease their chances of succeeding.
