A user named @Lizzard threatened to expose Swift's nude photos unless they get paid bitcoins. @Lizzard's account is now suspended.

@Lizzard claimed in his profile that is the "Leader of Lizard Squad," and a member of "LulzSec, Anonymous, UGNazi, ISISGang, GoP, globalHell, stc, zf0, htp, el8, GoD. lurk moar," while is alleged based in North Korea.

BuzzFeed tells that information gathered from Dataminer can tell that the account holder could be legitimately from North Korea.

Swift, meanwhile, doesn't seem unfazed and hit the hackers in her Tumblr account.

"#HACKERS GONNA HACK HACK HACK HACK HACK," she pointed.

"My Twitter got hacked but don't worry, Twitter is deleting the hacker tweets and locking my account until they can figure out how this happened and get me new passwords. Never a dull moment," she wrote on Tumblr following the hacking of her Twitter.

"Now Instagram. This is going to be a long day," she posted later after finding out that her Instagram had also been hacked.

Of the threat to spill some nude photos of her, the Grammy-winning singer doesn't seem worried:

"PS any hackers saying they have 'nudes'? Psssh you'd love that wouldn't you! Have fun photoshopping cause you got NOTHING," she tweeted.

She also announced that Twitter is now taking care of her account and she'll be given a new password later on.

"My Twitter got hacked but don't worry, Twitter is deleting the hacker tweets and locking my account until they can figure out how this happened and get me new passwords," she posted.
