Immediate past Governor of
Lagos State, Mr Babatunde Fashola, SAN on Saturday drew attention of
members of the public to the antics of hackers, who compromised his twitter
account @tundefashola and posted four tweets in a language that
resembled Japanese.
Early this morning, Vanguard
gathered that all posts on Fashola’s official website http://brfashola.org and
feeds redirected to his Twitter account, @tundefashola appeared in a similar foreign language (Japanese).
The website as at the point of
gathering this report can’t longer be accessed due to ‘unknown technical
problems’.
However, a statement signed by
his former Special Adviser on Media, Mr Hakeem Bello on Saturday, revealed that
the twitter account must have been compromised on Friday, as members of the
public, who follow the former Governor, started calling to draw attention to
the strange tweets in the early hours of Saturday.
It would be recalled that
Governor Fashola also recently dissociated himself from a facebook scam,
whereby some unscrupulous persons use his photographs and ascribe fictitious
statements to him on fake Facebook accounts aimed at defrauding innocent
people.
The call became necessary for
the umpteenth time, the statement said then, in view of the activities of
scammers who have been issuing out series of Facebook comments and information
in his name with the intention of during unsuspecting members of the public.
