LADY GAGA WEB HAKED

Lady Gaga's UK music
website has been
hacked, her record
company Universal has
confirmed.
The firm said a number of
its sites had been targeted
but that no passwords or
financial information had
been taken in the attack
last month.
"The hacker took a
content database dump
and a section of email,
first and last name records
were accessed.
"There were no passwords
taken and no financial
information taken," a
Universal statement said.
"Universal Music takes
information protection
very seriously and has put
in place additional
measures to protect
personally identifiable
information.
"All those affected have
been advised of the
intrusion into our sites.
We also informed the
Information
Commissioner's Office, the
police and our trade body,
the BPI."
In June, an 18-year-old
computer hacker who
stole songs from Lady
Gaga and other artists was
sentenced to 18 months
detention in Germany.
Last week the singer's
official YouTube channel
was blocked over a
copyright dispute before
being restored. Rihanna
has recently overtaken
her to become the most
popular female star on
Facebook.
