iPad scammers hack Kirstie Allsopp's Twitter

Hacked

Fnarr!
Fnarr! Fnarr!
Someone has logged in to Kirsty Allsopp's Twitter?
I presume...

Hackless Twitter Account?
Easy - Just dont have one!
That is all!

Off topic but...
I wouldn't mind 'pwning' her cos she is rather hot...
again......
having to google brit-centric stuff this morning......
First it was conkers(" Oddly oddly onker my first conker") and now who the hell Kirstie Allsop is........
too damn early yet....
her twitter is out for all to see?
Pass the hard hat, this needs further investigation.
Coat? Flourescent yellow in this instance.
