In the past human rights groups, government websites and political leaders have often been targeted by Islamist hackers. But it's the first we've heard of an adult film star making the list of cyber victims.
Lebanese-American celebrity Mia Khalifa's Instagram was hacked late Monday night by someone believed to be Saudi, who made four posts on her account: a Saudi flag playing the Saudi national anthem, an Islamic symbol, and advertisements for accounts believed to be his own Snapchat and Instagram.
Here's the most memorable one.
Despite having 2.2 million followers on her previous Instagram, the 22-year-old moved quickly to create a new account and advertise it with a comment on the hacked one.
She also tweeted about the incident, demanding Instagram to do something about the privacy violation.
Hey, @instagram - are you gonna let the terrorists win or give me my account back??

Can y'all help a girl get her Instagram account back? Tweet @instagram and demand they respond to my email
