The newly-minted New Yorker was probably looking forward to spending her snow day drinking lattes and playing with her cat but now she's got a cyber crisis on her hands: both her Twitter and Instagram accounts were hacked by the Lizard Squad! The creepily-named group took responsibility for North Korea's Internet shutdown last month and are alleged to have gone on the pop star's Twitter account to ask her fans to follow their leader, @Lizzard, and @veriuser, another Twitter user likely affiliated with them. They also are thought to have posted weird pics to her Instagram, including a shot of a guy on the toilet.

Swift quickly called his bluff, tweeting, "PS any hackers saying they have 'nudes'? Psssh you'd love that wouldn't you!" once she regained access to her account.

Well, at least she can mine this experience for new song material. #HackersGonnaHackHackHackHackHack
