This is, without a doubt, the worst — and longest — hacking of a celebrity Twitter account we’ve seen in a very long time. Maybe ever!!!
Jessica Alba is picking up the pieces on social media this morning after being hacked overnight, and it was all made worse by the fact that the hackers had control of her account for a LONG time. With it, they posted dozens of racist, sexist, and homophobic messages that drew a LOT of attention…

Alba’s name trended worldwide all night long with news of the hacking, and thousands upon thousands of people reacted strongly to it; the hack came overnight at an otherwise slow time across most of Twitter, so it ended up completely overwhelming the site, and it felt like it was all anybody could talk about!
Not only that, but it must’ve been a difficult evening and early morning for her personal PR/publicist team, and her business team at the Honest Company, considering the content of the messages going out.
As you can see (below), even just this very small sampling of the hacked messages makes for straight up horrific and disgusting racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, and conspiracy-theory-fueled content that isn’t fit for decent people:

Wow… Not even a little bit OK!!!
But pretty obvious that Jessica herself was NOT sending those messages, we would think…

Fortunately, as they reacted wildly to it all, Twitter did have a little fun with it all the same, as well.
As you can see (below), social media users had a lot of thoughts about who would choose to hack Alba’s account, and what it must’ve been like to be the celeb and wake up on Sunday morning to see your name trending worldwide for a reason like this:

Ha!!! Just goes to show that all publicity is NOT good publicity, right?!
As of press time on Sunday morning, it appeared Alba had regained at least partial control of her account; there were still several questionable retweets up and public on her page, but most of the offensive content appears to have been removed.
She has not yet publicly commented about the hack, or anything like that, but we’ll update you if something big goes down with this story throughout the rest of Sunday.

Regardless, just, wow… we’ve seen PLENTY of celeb hacks (and several claimed hacks, too) before, but this one was way over the top, and for a while there, it seemed like it was never going to let up.
Reactions, Perezcious readers?! Any thoughts on this one?? Maybe go change your passwords right now… just to be extra safe! Ha!!!
