A serial hacker invaded the Twitter accounts of Tame Impala, Bring Me The Horizon, Twenty One Pilots, Bon Iver, Tenacious D and Keith Richards over the weekend.

On Tenacious D’s Twitter account, the hacker (falsely) announced the death of Jack Black in a tweet that was retweeted over 2,500 times.

They then made a bomb threat to JetBlue Airways under Tame Impala’s account, and mocked the death of Muhammad Ali on Bon Iver’s - as well as changing his username to @ihavelegcancer.

Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes and Twenty One Pilots’ Tyler Joseph were also among the hack’s victims.
