GOP Senator Chuck Grassley’s Twitter Hacked By Anonymous

» 6 comments

Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley’s had his Twitter account hacked on Monday afternoon by an anti-SOPA activist claiming to be Anonymous.

“Dear Iowans, vote against ACTA, SOPA, and PIPA, because this man, Chuck Grassley, wants YOUR internet censored and all of that BS,” read a tweet posted at 1:28 pm ET, according to Talking Points Memo.

Following this tweet, the hacker sent several more mocking the Senator.

“And yes, I am an Anonymous follower…

“Yes I was hacked”

“Wow, Chuck hasn’t even changed his password.”

“Uh-oh looks like Chuck is online too.”

Well, its been fun getting Chuck’s account this week, so I better get off. I got nothing better to do since we got a snow day here in Osage.”

     I’m against SOPA myself but when are we going to see these Anonymous creeps doing a perp walk? They seem to be able to hack anyone and everyone they want without any consequences.

    The blackouts of certain sites, the censored bar on Google and the attempts to spread awareness on just about every social networking site were effective ways to protest PIPA/SOPA, this, not so much. I can’t help but feel this will be counter productive, it won’t change the stance of the senator who got hacked and makes the rest of us look bad and plays into the story that certain people who want these terrible laws seem to be pushing that the people who object are those who condone or want to participate in piracy and other criminal activities.

    The Daily Show’s facebook page was hacked yesterday as well.

    That’s one of the perks that comes with being the President and having George Soros as your boss.
    You have control over the DOJ.
