Hackers attack France by Zivka Deleva

New media and Internet has entered everywhere. If someone mentions an institution like the Ministry of foreign affairs, than at least for me, account on the blogging and social network like Twitter would be something surprising. But if you are a good hacker you can do that as well and write a message. Few days ago, French ministry of foreign affairs had some headache with this kind of problem. First, something surprised me in the whole news – ministry’s official Twitter account! Why a ministry needs such network? Nevertheless, let’s go back to what happened. So, a hacker has posted an embarrassing post on the Roma topics. France is being criticized of bein! g racial nation this last month by having the action of deporting hundreds of Roma into Romania and Bulgaria. The thing is that the tweet as the messages of this social networking are called, was very insulting about Roma and whoever wrote it, wanted to insult French politics. The massage has been available for readers about one hour, when it was removed, with the message that “their account has been hacked”. “We have deleted the message. We will take steps to ensure that this does not happen again” – that was the explanation. But, people don’t forget, and as far as millions of people use this site, almost 50.000 people saw the threat before it was removed. And normally, who would stand not to joke about it? Hundreds of tweets have arrived as an ironical reaction of people, making fun of the French Government. Twitter piracy is nothing new. As I said few days ago, on the subject of privacy on the net – it is so much relative and a! lmost doesn’t exist. Obama had the same situation, but t! he hacke r was caught and imprisoned.
