Good news: Britney Spears is not dead, but a series of hacked tweets from Sony Music and Bob Dylan on December 26 made some people think she had died.
The Sony Music Global Twitter account posted on December 26 that “britney spears is dead by accident!”
However, the singer’s management told Business Insider that “Britney is alive and well.”

Hackers also managed to get into the Twitter account of Bob Dylan, which made it seem like he was the first star to mourn Spears (even though she was still alive).

It looks like the hacking group OurMine had something to do with the hack, as several tweets sent by the Sony Music account after the initial messages referenced the hacking group. OurMine is behind a series of high-profile social media hacks, and the group has recently targeted Netflix, Marvel, and Business Insider.

The hacked tweets posted by both the Sony Music and Bob Dylan accounts have since been deleted. Sony Music did not immediately respond to a request for comment on this story.
