14 DAY TRIAL // After hijacking the official Twitter account of the British National Party (BNP), the Anonymous hacker who calls himself Anon_0x03 has taken over the account of Nick Griffin, the chairman of the BNP and a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for North West England.
Griffin’s Twitter account was hacked on May 3 and it still appears to be controlled by the hacker. He sent messages on the social media network to various users, including British Prime Minister David Cameron.
“Hi Dave. Is there any chance we could have a team up next year? We are getting trashed in the daily mail, you could save us!” the hacker tweeted to Cameron.
Anon_0x03 has also changed the profile description for Griffin’s account, saying that he’s chairman and member of the European LGBT community.
The hacker claims that he has also breached Griffin’s official website, but at the time of writing, the defacement page appears to have been removed. Anon_0x03 says that the same password was used for the website’ administration panel, the Twitter account and an email account.
Griffin’s Facebook page appears to be untouched, but there’s no mention of the Twitter account being compromised.
Anon_0x03, who’s a former member of a Venezuelan hacktivist group, has also hijacked the BNP’s Twitter account. The BNP appears to have recovered the account, but the messages posted by the hacker still haven’t been removed.
