Fans of pop superstar Justin Bieber were taken aback on Monday when he appeared to tweet out his phone number. “Hit me at +505 5853 1341,” he wrote. “I’m on WhatsApp too.” The tweet was taken down less than ten minutes after it was posted, but that didn’t stop millions of fans from dialing the number and trying to contact Bieber directly.
Many believe that the phone number leak was due to Bieber’s Twitter account being hacked. It’s unclear whether the number sent out was genuine, however, or whether the unidentified hacker was merely trolling fans. Bieber has not tweeted since the hack.
Wait, so Justin Bieber really tweeted his number? He deleted the tweets ???? pic.twitter.com/Ib73OpJn8F

This is not the first time that the singer has had to deal with his phone number being leaked. Last week, on December 22, a similarly confusing tweet was sent out with a message and a corresponding number. “Long time. On vacation,” he wrote. “Hit me at +505 7754 8172.” That tweet was also deleted shortly after it was posted.
