Lady Gaga, J. Timberlake and Ri-Ri Hacked by German Teens for Juicy Info

Taking on Lady Gaga is scary. Taking on Gagaloo, Rihanna, Ke$ha and Justin Timberlake? Well, that goes beyond brazen and attains near-heroic levels of brass gonads. That's exactly what two German hackers -- mere kids at 17 and 23 -- claim to have done, infecting A-list stars with trojans and malware in hopes of snatching some juicy scoops. "The trick itself is nothing special," German prosecutor Rolf Haferkamp told the newspaper Neue Ruhr/Neuer Rhein Zeitung. "All it requires is a bit of know-how and perseverance to achieve criminal success." [Ed. Note: Haferkamp should design motivational posters.]

Well, know-how and perseverance appear to have worked: the haul has reportedly netted the hackers some unreleased songs and some naked pictures of Ke$ha. (Who on the Internet doesn't have naked pics of the "Tik Tok" singer?) Fans alerted former American Idol Kelly Clarkson to leaked versions of her own music, which she quickly reported to the authorities. The hopeful hackers were soon caught bragging online. Although the two haven't yet been charged, the Telegraph reports that they've confessed to police.

Bottom line: To quote Us Weekly, stars are just like us. They need to update their anti-virus software and nix easy passwords, like "THENEXTMADONNA." Just sayin'.
