There are certain privacy problems that celebrities have been faced with for decades. The constant presence of paparazzi and the never-ending relationship rumour mill are just two examples.
But the newest and biggest problem for bold-faced named in the 21st century is internet hacking. It can happen via email and the mysterious cloud, like with Kendall and Adele, or through everyone's favourite social media platforms, like Twitter.
And on Twitter, no one is off-limits. Celebrities ranging from President Obama to Lady Gaga to Lil Wayne have all been hacked throughout the years since the site's debut on March 21, 2006.
So, in honour of Twitter's decade on the web, we rounded up the 16 biggest celebrity hacks that have happened on the platform. Makes you think twice about having your dog's name or "Password123" as your go-to security blockade, doesn't it?
BRB, I'm just updating all my passwords.
Britney Spears, November 2009
We're just going to assume that Spears does not pray to Satan or Lucifer, nor does she "hope that the new world order will arrive as soon as possible!" In addition to the tweets, the hacker also changed the singer's page background to Illuminati-themed wallpaper. A few months prior to this hack, someone else tweeted from the singer's account that she had died. Fortunately, this was untrue.

Kendall Jenner, April 2015
Last spring, the model had a series of three extremely sensitive tweets sent out to all her followers. One addressed Caitlyn's transition, another addressed Justin Bieber's "nob," and a third joked about eating disorders.

Blac Chyna, November 2014
Chyna blamed her ex Tyga for these strongly worded tweets. One had Chyna calling herself a gold digger and "a cheater." It went on, "I never really loved Tyga It was always about the money. After he took me out the strip club gave me a beautiful family."

Donald Trump, February 2013
Way back in 2013, when he was just a regular ol' smarmy mogul, Trump's account got "seriously hacked." The perp sent out Lil Wayne lyrics from Trump's account, including this one: "These hoes think they classy, well that's the class I'm skippen."

Lil Wayne, January 2011
Little did Trump know that the rapper himself had been a victim of hacking two years prior. The rapper's account sent out an especially disturbing tweet saying "The real reason I made [new single] 6'7 is cuz that's how tall the n---a in rikers was that raped me."

Lady Gaga, December 2011
Around the holidays, someone logged on to the singer's account and began promising iPads and MacBooks to all her followers. Unfortunately for all of her excited fans, the offers weren't legit.

Barack Obama, October 2013
A "hacktivist" group called the Syrian Electronic Army successfully broke into the POTUS Twitter account, tweeting links that re-directed to YouTube videos supporting the president of Syria and to supercuts of terrorist attacks. A disturbing online breach to say the least. The Organization for Action group, who was running the president's account, confirmed that the hacking was real and was accomplished through phishing.

Emma Stone, March 2013
This hack involved a well-thought-out anagram. The tweet from Stone's old account (she doesn't have one anymore) read: "nawder nad islasehne tsintgi ni a erte" which, when unscrambled, translates to: "Andrew and Shailene sitting in a tree." The tweet was meant to allude to a split between Stone and her boyfriend Andrew Garfield, which was untrue.

Ian Somerhalder, September 2015
Somerhalder has been married since January 2015 to actress Nikki Reed, but he previously dated his Vampire Diaries co-star Nina Dobrev. The hacker was apparently a fan of Somerhalder's ex and tweeted out a short "i love you" to Dobrev from the actor's account. Somerhalder responded after the tweet telling everyone to have a good night, proving it is possible to be a good sport about a pointless hack.

Alicia Keys, February 2013
Shortly after being named Blackberry's Global Creative Director, Keys sent out a tweet of a Drake lyric, but that wasn't the problem. The issue was at the bottom of the tweet, where a little message read: "via Twitter for iPhone." Oops. Keys claimed she was hacked, saying she likes Drake, but that "wasn't my tweet :-(."

Taylor Swift, January 2015
Swift's hackers had one goal: to get more followers. Once they broke into the singer's Twitter account, they immediately tweeted links to their personal accounts to her millions of followers. The two users also threatened to share nudes of Swift, but she clapped back (once she recovered her account) with a tweet saying: "PS any hackers saying they have 'nudes'? Psssh you'd love that wouldn't you! Have fun photoshopping cause you got NOTHING." Mic drop.

E! Online, May 2013
E!'s Twitter feed flooded with fake tweets, most of them centred on a fabricated exclusive with Justin Bieber in which the singer supposedly revealed he is gay. All of it was untrue.

Khloé & Kim Kardashian, April 2011
Both Karadshians saw their Twitter accounts hacked on April 1 of 2011. Even though it was April Fools' Day, the tweets were still alarmingly foul and full of potty humour. In the end it was revealed that friend Nicole Richie was behind the hacking.

Ashton Kutcher, January 2012
Amid rumours that Kutcher had sparked a new romance, someone hacked the actor's account and tweeted, "First official sleepover with my girl @lorenescafaria so maybe breakfast with everyone next time! (@ Lorene's House)." Kutcher immediately fired back on Twitter that he would find the prankster, and that he now had the hacker's address through a turn of events. No word on whether Kutcher actually found the culprit.

Selena Gomez, January 2012
A hacker, revealed to be a 21-year-old named Gareth Crosskey, successfully hacked into Gomez's Twitter account and sent out a tweet that angered all of her fans, as well as her famous boyfriend at the time, Bieber. The tweet read, "Oh yeh, JUSTIN BIEBER SUCKS!!!!!!!!!" Crosskey was later arrested in May of 2012.

Ja Rule, December 2010
Just one day after Ja Rule received a two-year prison sentence, someone hacked into the rapper's Twitter account and went on a tweeting frenzy. The tweets were mostly making fun of Ja Rule's sentencing and career. “I can’t even get people to download my albums illegally,”read one tweet. He is now out of jail, and back on Twitter in full force.
