Miley Cyrus 'killed' after second hacking

A hacker posted a fake video on Miley Cyrus's YouTube page claiming she had died; co-star Mandy Jiroux said she was fine and that her account had been hacked.

Miley Cyrus really should think about making her passwords more secure.

As previously reported, a hacker who gained access to her Gmail account and stole private information and photos was last month arrested by the FBI. Now she has fallen fowl of another hacker, who this time gained access to her 'Miley And Mandy Show' YouTube page and posted a video, allegedly from co-star Mandy Jiroux, announcing Cyrus had died.

In the video, posted on Sunday evening, Cyrus' song 'Goodbye' plays over a note seemingly written by Jiroux which says: "Miley died this morning after being hit by a drunk driver. She always told us if anything ever happened to her then tell her loyal fans first before the public. RIP Miley, we'll never forget you!"

Clarifying the situation, Jiroux subsequently changed her status on MySpace to "MILEY IS OK!! Some1 hacked our youtube account!"

So, just to reiterate, whatever the headline on this story might imply, Miley Cyrus is not dead. She is fine. Nothing is wrong. Unless Mandy Jiroux's MySpace account has been hacked, too, I suppose. No, I'm sure she's fine. Nothing is wrong. Probably.
