President’s special staff’s Twitter account hacked

Dina Indrasafitri, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Thu, 11/25/2010

The Twitter account of one of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s special staff was sending bizarre messages Thursday morning.

Andi Arief, the President’s special staff for social aid, usually uses his Twitter account to announce the latest information on natural disasters such as the recent eruptions of the Mt. Merapi volcano and the tsunami in Mentawai Islands, West Sumatra.

However, a tweet posted “four hours ago” when the Post accessed Andi’s account at around 9 a.m, announced a “Tsunami in Jakarta tomorrow”. Some of the other messages on the Twitter account included, “kkkkkkk” and “your fate is in my hands”.

Akuat Supriyanto, a close acquaintance of Andi Arief, said on his own Twitter account that Andi’s account had been hacked.

“…There are a lot of untrue messages being written by the hacker…” Akuat posted.
