One of the stars of the popular TV show "Glee", Heather Morris, has fallen victim to a hacker who managed to gain access to the data stored on her mobile phone. As a result, a number of private photos of the celebrity have been published online.

Graham Cluley reports that at that moment there is nothing to indicate a connection between this incident and the celebrity hacker Christopher Chaney, who last November was accused of breaching the email addresses and cell phones of around 50 famous individuals.

Celebrities have become an easy target after hackers noticed that the stars fail miserably when it comes to setting strong passwords and implementing basic protection measures to guard their assets.

The list of those who have already been targeted by hackers includes Christina Aguilera, Miley Cyrus, Ashton Kutcher, Lady Gaga, Mila Kunis, Scarlett Johansson, Vanessa Hudgens and, more recently, Kesha.
