Holding social networking profiles to ransom

This is a headline I never thought I’d see:  “..hacker holds rapper Soulja Boy’s MySpace account ransom..

Soulja Boy has always been held in high regard by many for the way he embraced social media and used it as a great platform to launch his career.  Not only that – but he used it to defend himself and deliver his messages (even dance moves).

Whether you agree to Superman Dat Ho or not – he knew how to wield the sword that is social media.  Turns out a 12 year old fan saved his YouTube for him – great example of community support and loyal, dedicated fans.

” I said fuck you, bitch. Do what you do. This motherfucker got to be fucked up.”
