This is the second time it happens in less than two months

The official Twitter account of Emma Roberts – the famous actress, model and singer, and Eric Roberts’ daughter and Julia Roberts’ niece – has been hacked.

“Someone's hacked my twitter. Ughhhh,” Roberts wrote to her over 2.3 million Twitter followers a few hours ago.

It’s uncertain what the attacker did after taking over the account. Celebrities are usually targeted not only by trolls, but also by cybercriminals who want to lure users to their scammy or malicious websites.

One thing’s certain though: this isn’t the first time when Emma Roberts’ Twitter account is hacked. The last time she warned her Twitter followers that her account was hijacked was on August 30, 2013.

Back in 2009, she threatened to delete her account because hackers were trying to reset her password every day.
