Tom Hiddleston may have only joined Instagram a few weeks ago, but he's already fallen victim to one of social media's biggest issues: hacking.
Yes, the 35-year-old actor is the latest celebrity to see his account hacked. It happened just after 9 a.m. EST on Friday when fans started noticing some off-brand posts going up, including some weird videos, a Snapchat code to an unknown user and more.
The hackers had control of his account for about two hours, promoting other Instagram users with captions like, "Follow me. I will you some thing important." They also shared a photo promising Hiddleston fans they'd eventually give his account back to him.
The actor finally regained control around 11 a.m
Meanwhile, Hiddleston has only been on Instagram for a couple weeks, having joined on August 9 and telling fans during a recent Q&A that he had been planning to do so "for a while."
Though he wasn't following anyone during the first couple days on the platform, he finally started adding his co-stars and friends...and yes, his girlfriend Taylor Swift , too, of course!
Robert Downey Jr. welcomed him to the 'Gram with a proper shout out on the social media platform, posting a photo of Hiddleston wearing that "I [heart] T.S." shirt from his Fourth of July vacation.
"Join me in welcoming the biggest T.Stark fan of them all to Instagram," RDJ cleverly captioned the pic.
