Simon Cowell has been struck by the dreaded hackers again. The American Idol boss had recently contacted the FBI about hackers which were gaining access to his record label Syco’s system and stealing songs from the new albums of stars like Alexandra Burke.

The investigation is now underway but it wasn’t enough to stop the computer geniuses, who last night managed to leak more than 40 tracks from Alexandra and Leona’s new albums to file sharing websites.
