A few days ago, fans of Amy Winehouse, the famous singer who died back in 2011, were shocked to see that the celebrity posted a message on Facebook in which she claimed to have lost 8 pounds.

“For anyone that’s reading the newsfeed right now, I just wanna say that I lost 8 pounds this week and I’m really really happy about it! I wanna share it with everyone, just go here and thank me later [LINK],” the message read.

Of course, the celebrity isn’t back from the dead. Instead, according to Graham Cluley, the message was posted on her timeline by hackers who had compromised the systems of social media sharing service Buffer.

In a post-breach statement, Buffer representatives revealed that a total of 30,000 Facebook accounts were affected by the incident. It appears that the account of Amy Winehouse is one of them.

Fortunately, the message posted by the hackers was quickly removed from Amy Winehouse's timeline.
