London, July 16 (ANI): Lady Gaga is the latest in a string of celebrities to fall victim to Internet hackers, after US cyber attackers SwagSec broke into her website and stole thousands of her fans' personal details.
Gaga, however, wasted no time and called in the cops to look into the matter, as soon as she learnt of the situation.
"She's upset and hopes police get to the bottom of how this was allowed to happen,' the Mirror quoted a source as saying.
The group struck on June 27 but did not make the information, which included names and email addresses, public until this week.
The hackers, who also issued a death threat against the singer, bizarrely branded her homophobic.
Their statement comes after Gaga recently described as "ridiculous" claims she uses the gay community to sell records.
Universal said yesterday: "The hackers took a content database dump from www.ladygaga.co.uk and a section of email, first name and last name records were accessed. There were no passwords or financial information taken.
"We take this very seriously and have put in place additional measures to protect personally identifiable information. All those affected have been advised."
SwagSec have also targeted other Universal artists recently including Amy Winehouse and Justin Bieber. (ANI)
