Nascar driver Mark Martin is the latest public figure to fall victim to hackers. On Saturday morning he found that his Twitter account had been taken over by someone who changed his name to “EpicSwagg”.

“My account got jacked yesterday. I became EPICSWAGG 4 a while LMAO!” read a tweet posted by Martin after he got his account back.

“My account was not authorized all the sudden. Then saw my name changed,” he added.

According to CBS Sports the Nascar driver is very attached to his Twitter account because he finds it a great way to keep in touch with his more than 60,000 followers.

“You see those commercials about people getting hacked and you really don't think much of it, but when it happens to you it's big. Real big,” Martin explained.

As a form of revenge against the hacker, he plans on using the name "Epic Swagg" above the driver’s window, where his name is normally displayed, during the next race.
