Hot on the heels of Lady Gaga‘s Twitter account being hacked, singer Nelly Furtado has also fallen victim to hacking. Where as Gaga was “offering” an iPad2 to all of her followers in the spirit of the season, Furtado’s fake tweet, which has since been removed from her feed, offered Mac Book laptops. You know what they say: If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.

The tweet read: “Dearies, I’m giving away free Macbooks to each one of you in the spirit of the holidays.” A fake and potentially dangerous link was also included in the tweet. You can view the tweet on Tech Crunch.

Pop stars should be concerned as there seems to be some sort of coordinated effort to take over their social media networks.

A word of warning to those who follow pop stars on Twitter: Do not click on these links offering up free tech gadgets. They could cause harm to your computer.

‘Glee‘ star Dianna Agron became the victim of Twitter hacking when an obsessed fan figured out the password to her account over the weekend.

The hacker logged onto the 25-year-old’s account and took the liberty of sending a series of messages, which were blasted to the actress’ 787,000 followers. Although the tweets have since been removed, a string of the hacker’s messages can be found on Oh No They Didn’t.

The creepy tweets talked about how the star is “a super nice person” and “doesn’t deserve” the hacking, using the fact that he or she “just guessed her password” as an excuse. Meanwhile online buzz about the hacking grew instantaneously, making #diannaspassword a top trending topic.

Another one of the erratic tweets implied that the hacker knew Agron’s phone number: “Left her voicemail saying sorry, I truly am and I am not being evil and saying creepy stuff like Faberry FanFic Freaks…Klaine Sucks FYI.”

Maybe Agron should consult Selena Gomez for some stalker advice! Since the incident, the actress has received an outpouring of support from fans, who have reprimanded the Twitter hacker. At press time, no one had been identified as the perpetrator.

Lady Gaga's Twitter Account Hacked

Uh oh. Lady Gaga‘s much-used and heavily followed Twitter account has been hacked. The singer, who boasts more than 17 million followers, posted a tweet earlier this morning offering up a free iPad2 to little monsters as Christmas presents. Warning: Do not click the link included in the tweet, as it’s not valid and could cause damage to your computer.

While Gaga is known for being a kind and generous Mother Monster, the idea that she could gift her millions of little monsters and followers with expensive, sought-after new tech gadgets at the height of the holiday season by clicking on a link is as suspicious as an email from the Prince of Nigeria offering you incredible sums of money if you send some first. They’re both obvious web-based scams.

And if you grab a calculator, like one of our savvy PopCrush staffers did, and do the math, if Gaga bought each of her followers an iPad2, it would cost her $8,538,981,313. Yes, over 8 billion bucks. On the flip side, there’s also no way Apple could stay in business by comping Gaga that many tablets, either. If Apple crumbles, our economy does, too.

The hacked tweet read as follows: “Monsters, I’m giving away FREE iPad2's to each one of you in the spirit of the holidays Go to http://bit.ly/s5MTqM to receive one!”

So beware, monsters. Don’t click the link. Let’s hope the damage is minimal and Gaga’s followers are smart enough to ignore this malacious hacker’s tweet.

This isn’t the first time that Gaga has dealt with cyber problems in 2011. Her YouTube account was suspended this summer and her U.K. website was hacked, as well.

Time to change that password, Gaga! Since Gaga is so communicative via Twitter, we’re sure she’ll have a response in no time.
