James Charles shocked by post from Jason Derulo\u2019s hacked Twitter account Instagram: Jason Derulo, James Charles \/ TwitterYouTube star and beauty guru James Charles was left speechless after hackers, who had taken over singer-songwriter Jason Derulo\u2019s Twitter account, called him out in an unexpected and hateful tweet. On January 12, one of the biggest stars using Twitter was hacked in yet another apparent conquest from the masterminds behind 2019\u2019s mass celebrity hacking on the platform. Jason Derulo, famed American singer-songwriter and dancer, was compromised by the group, who have infamously dubbed themselves the \u201cChuckling Squad.\u201d The squad published a slew of offensive tweets from Derulo\u2019s account \u2014 but one of the most shocking posts called out makeup mogul James Charles, whose own account was also compromised in 2019. View this post on Instagram The post in question was incredibly offensive and called Charles a slur, although, thankfully, the tweet has since been taken down. Understandably, Charles appeared to be at a loss for words over the post, simply quote-retweeting it with the caption: \u201cOmg.\u201d We\u2019re right there with you, James \u2014 and while it\u2019s clear the tweet didn\u2019t come from Derulo himself, it must have been jarring to see such profanity from his account. Charles wasn\u2019t the only celeb the Chuckling Squad took aim at while piloting Derulo\u2019s profile; they also insulted popular rapper Megan Thee Stallion and posted a slew of other offensive messages for around an hour before being kicked out of the account. However, the squad made sure to link the cyber attack back to themselves, writing in a post from Derulo\u2019s account: \u201cAll celebs that were hacked were chuckling squad, labelled or not, it was us. No one else can do it, just how we smoked Addison Rae, Dixie, anyone you can think off [sic] our victims.\u201d Rae\u2019s social media accounts were targeted in August of last year, as well as those of her mother. According to the Chuckling Squad\u2019s latest messages, it seems that no one is out of their reach \u2014 and while we can give some pretty good guesses, there\u2019s no telling who they\u2019ll target next. While unrelated to the Chuckling Squad, the site-wide bitcoin scam from 2020 (which similarly targeted a slew of high-profile users) was traced back to a 21-year old English hacker and three other young people, who had reportedly convinced Twitter employees to give out their administrative accreditations. While it\u2019s unlikely this group is behind the latest attacks, the Chuckling Squad \u2014 worryingly \u2014 lives on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
