What I love about this story is that Mr Fry will notice, comment and probably delete the Tweet. He’s an active, transparent, user and not all about the self-publicity and self-absorption.

Getting hacked can be a badge of honour, like having your own stalker was in the late 90s. As @builtbydave points out there is little harm done when the service doesn’t include direct debit payments, bank details, etc. I’m much more concerned about Gmail (or even Audible) accounts getting hacked.

If I was a celebrity I think I could laugh it off pretty quick.

Stephen Fry: “Lawks. Hope I haven’t been phished for all my details. Clicked on scam URL last night before I knew what it was. Eeek. x” about 22 hours ago from Tweetie

Heh – it’s quite amusing, you must admit.

Sorry Mike, I have to do the obligatory plug though – If she’d (or Sony BMG, I presume) had used a company like http://wearesocial.net/ to advise her (as Stephen Fry has done), she wouldn’t be in this situation…

There is always the option that she sent this herself while under the influence of something.

Someone’s been having a hacking field day by the looks of things…Fox News has also been caught out. By someone who doesn’t like Bill O Riley (sic) by the looks of things. (via Valleywag)
