Ellen Degeneres Instagram Account Briefly Hacked

At least some of the followers of Ellen DeGeneres’ Instagram account might have thought they hit pay dirt last night when the talk show host’s account was hacked and briefly offered a treasure trove of giveaway items.

“My Instagram account was hacked last night (despite my clever password “password”),” DeGeneres tweeted this morning on her official The Ellen Show account. “We apologize, and we thank everyone who brought it to our attention. I’m going back to sleep now.”
