Britney Spears has fallen victim to internet hackers for the second time this year - her Twitter.com page has been targeted by devilish pranksters.

The singer's fans received a message from Spears' online account on Thursday which swapped her usual light-hearted banter for talk of Satan worship.

The Toxic hitmaker's Twitter.com homepage also turned an unusual shade of red as the pranksters wrote, "I give myself to Lucifer every day for it to arrive as quickly as possible. Glory to Satan! I hope that the new world order will arrive as soon as possible! - Britney."

Within hours, the post had been removed and Spears' photo on her page was replaced with a standard Twitter logo.

The star's account was previously hacked last January when naughty pranksters posted an obscene message on the page.
