Piers Morgan was the victim of a horrific cyber attack last night (Monday) in which the hacker posted a series of racist, lewd and unsavoury comments on various issues on the Twitter platform.
The broadcaster, 57, is an avid user of the social media platform, which was taken over by Tesla magnate Elon Musk earlier this year, and usually causes a stir with his forthright and sometimes controversial views. However, it was taken to a horrific levels as Morgan's account - which had 8.3 million followers - reeled off nearly 100 tweets during the 50-minute attack which started at 3.20 on Tuesday morning (December 27).
Links to music on Amazon, racist comments to celebrities, unsavoury messages about the late monarch and claims about Somalia were just a handful of subjects that the hackers tweeted about in a chaotic period. Although his Twitter handle remained @piersmorgan throughout, the account's username was changed a number of times, including 'lol', 'Michael' and latterly an obscenity of 'Piers ****'.
