The targeting of high-profile celebrities by cyber-criminals is a growing issue, with data breaches increasing in scale and seriousness as time goes by. Celebrity data breaches are nothing new with international celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Arianna Grande being victims of such events again on Instagram.

Recently, Dancer Renee six thirty’s page was also hacked by a known hacker Ivany.
