In a yet another high-profile Twitter account compromise this year, the hacker group OurMine broke into Sony Music's Twitter account, flashing a news that famous singer Britney Spears "is dead by accident". The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

"Britney Spears is dead by accident! We will tell you more soon #RIPBrtiney," the tweet from OurMine read late on Monday. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

Alerted, Sony Music immediately swung into action and tweeted after recovering their handle @SonyMusicGlobal: "We saw a new IP logged in to the account a few minutes ago and the tweet is posted by a new IP so @britneyspears is still alive #OurMine".

According to CNET, both the tweets have now been removed from Sony Music Global's account.

Spears' manager Adam Leber was quoted by CNN as saying that the popstar was alive, officially debunking the rumour. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
