LDS CHURCH TWITTER ACCOUNT HACKED


The hackers changed the password and kept the Deseret News/Mormon Times employees that usually run the site from accessing it. Then, they bombarded the sites followers with 'tweets' like "I already told you all.We do the thinking!You do the obeying!Stop thinking for yourself!Stop studing the history of the church! From Leaders"

It took three days of requests and, ultimately, a legal threat to Twitter before the account was suspended and the anti-Mormon tweets were stopped.

Here's the Channel 4 News report on it.
