Sony Music Entertainment tweeted today that "Britney Spears is dead by accident! We will tell you more soon #RIPBritney."
Fans are being told to take a breath and calm down as the real Sony Music Entertainment quickly deleted those tweets and issued a terse clarification: "Sony Music Entertainment's Twitter account was compromised. This has been rectified."
"Sony Music apologizes to Britney Spears and her fans for any confusion."
Sony was not the only one hacked as the official account of Bob Dylan was possibly hacked on Monday with the tweet "Rest in peace @britneyspears" about the same time as the fake Sony tweets were going out.
It is being postulated that the culprit was the hacker group OurMine. The report goes on to say that OurMine is a Saudi teenager who goes by the name "Ahmad Makki" on social media.
Britney Spears and Bob Dylan are not alone as being reported dead. They join the ranks of Beyonce to Michael Jordan to Jackie Chan and Sylvester Stallone as being erroneously reported as dead.
