Actor Tom Hiddleston's Instagram account was hacked by a user 'Mr. Control' on Friday, just two weeks after the 'Thor' actor signed up. The hacker posted moody cartoon drawings and screengrabs of Snapchat accounts with an unclear message.
Hiddleston joined the Photo sharing website 'Instagram' earlier this month and shared a photo of his character Loki from the set of 'Thor: Ragnarok'. A group called Team Error 404, which seems to include several individuals using different names ,claimed responsibility for the cyber attack that lasted about two hours, reports Yahoo! News UK.
Most of Hiddleston's photos were removed from his account, except for around four pictures of the actor dressed up as Loki, and were replaced by screenshots of Team Error 404's member accounts on Instagram and Snapchat.
According to NY Daily News, some of the other posts that appeared on his account included a Snapchat account to an unknown user and a weird video with the caption: "#Team.Error.404."
Another post asked Hiddleston's fans to follow a different Instagram account @rjz. The @rjz account also posted a screengrab of the 35-year-old actor's current bio and listed "TEAM.ERORR.4.0.4" together with seven other Instagram accounts that seem to belong to the alleged hacking group's members, reports dailymail.
The 35-year-old - who has made headlines for his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift - most recently used Instagram on Tuesday to share a snap of himself alongside Chris Hemsworth visiting a children's hospital dressed as their "Thor" characters.
