Taylor Swift has mocked hackers who threatened to leak nude photographs of her.

The 'Blank Space' hitmaker - who is currently vacationing in Hawaii - had her Twitter and Instagram accounts taken over by a mystery user on Tuesday, with postings on her microblogging page asking fans to follow two users, @lizzard and @veriuser, both of whom claim to be linked to hacking group the Lizard Squad.

The two accounts were suspended and the tweets deleted, but one posted a link to a Bitcoin account alongside a message which read: "Will post taylor swift's nudes when this btc wallet hits 3btc.(sic)"

However, the 25-year-old beauty seemed nonplussed by the hack and later wrote on her Twitter page: "Cause the hackers gonna hack, hack, hack, hack, hack...

As well as the light-hearted Tweets, the singer also shared an explanation on her Tumblr account.

She wrote: "My Twitter got hacked but don't worry, Twitter is deleting the hacker tweets and locking my account until they can figure out how this happened and get me new passwords.

"Never a dull moment."

The hackers also posted what they claimed was private messages between Taylor and friends including Nick Jonas, singer/songwriter Garrett Borns, aka BØRNS - who she exchanged puns about whales with - and YouTube star Felix Kjellberg.

It hasn't been confirmed if the exchanges were real.
