HuffPo Twitter Hacked? Anti-Gay and Racist Tweets Come from Site’s Official Account

Huffington Post Twitter Hacked

Followers of the Huffington Post’s official Twitter feed may have notice some surprising tweets Sunday afternoon.

At some point between tweets linking to pieces on the Golden Globes to others on famous Martin Luther King Jr. quotes and speeches, a hacker posing as the New York Post got a hold of the Huffing Post’s Twitter handle, unloading a stream of odd and offensive comments.

Huffington Post Twitter Hacked Administrators of the Twitter account followed by over 1.4 million soon realized the hacking, deleting the offensive tweets followed by an explanation of the odd comments:

Huffington Post Twitter Hacked

The feed was soon churning out its usual tweets linking back to Huffington Post stories as if nothing had happened.

BuzzFeed notes that the Huffington Post hacker went by “cloverfdch,” who appears to have been the same hacker that showed up on Democratic Alaska Senator Mark Begich’s Twitter account on New Year’s Eve.

In addition to the Huffington Post hacking that was taking place on Sunday, someone other than Ashton Kutcher was manning his famed @aplusk Twitter account. Kutcher’s Foursquare account was aslo hacked, leading the former That 70s Show star to boast that he now has the hacker’s address and appears determined to find the cyber troublemaker:

Those tweets coincide just fine with the banal commentary found over at those Huff and Puff Po web properties, the same people who spent weeks last year destroying the Palin’s downs child Trig on the same ‘web tour’ per se, by the way most will remember well.

Any of those leftist websites are the equivalent of verbal landfills littering all over the webscape.

They weren’t hacked they just have kept it in so long they felt the need to finally vent, and blame it on hacking……The real truth finally revealed.

It wasn’t hacked, that is SOP for PuffPo.

Speaking of that, wonder if it was either Encinom or Your Sensei that made those tweets…

The censor at Huffington is like their mommy who won’t let all the little sissyboys see an opposing opinion, she is like the mommy covering the eyes of the little boys and telling them in reassuring tones not to worry and that they shouldn’t even see those mean old conservative viewpoints or facts.

What happens is that they get a skewed sense of reality when some of the obviously absurd liberal points they make get no conservative response. They think it is because they have made a good argument, but the reality is the conservative points have been blocked by their mommy censor.

“Hacking” someones twitter account… not that hard. I mean jeeze their password was probably ObamaLover08 or it was a disgruntled employee. Of course now conservatives get the blame. At least it was funny.

  Yea, I got over 900 fans before they booted me, and my ISP has been cursed ever since because I can’t seem to keep a profile overnight anymore.
  Talking to progressives is an exercise in futility anyway, they have ears but can not listen.

Huffington Post are frauds, as a conservative who over the years has tried repeatedly to post on their site, they are afraid of opposing views, they block almost all posts with a conservative point even if there is no foul language or direct attacks on other commenters. Finally after you have wasted so much time trying to post but never seeing the comments actually on the site, you give up and quit trying – which is what they want. This incident is great. I would only hope they would all die in a horrible accident. They are vile creatures for the censorship they engage in on their site.

ROTFLMFAO!!! I wish I knew who the hacker was, so I could send him (or her) a “Thank You” card, and maybe a gift card redeemable at their favorite restaurant!

It’s about time that those leftist weenies got a dose of their own medicine!

  “Billboard.com reports that supporters of Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, hacked the Twitter accounts of No Doubt, Nicole Scherzinger and Rise Against Wednesday morning.
  
  According to Billboard.com, a Ron Paul endorsement appeared on the Twitter accounts of No Doubt, Nicole Scherzinger and Rise Against at roughly the same time Wednesday morning. The owners of the Twitter handles removed the tweets shortly after they appeared.The offending tweets, which Billboard.com was able to obtain before they were removed, read: “Today We Officially Endorse Ron Paul 2012 Donate to him here_________________.”
  
  Sorry for leaving off the link, but I sure don’t want to be accused of providing a link for a Ron Paul donation!
  
  There are dozens more stories just like this BETTERDAYS. I don’t need to provide you a link however, just do your research.

  Shortly after Ms. Clarkson’s Paul endorsement, a number of news stories surfaced claiming that the endorsement had boosted sales of the American Idol winner’s new album. However, the stories turned out to be misguided. Heavy promotion of Ms. Clarkson’s new album on iTunes was responsible for the singer’s soaring album sales.
  
  Citing Nielsen SoundScan data and sources at RCA, the Hollywood Reporter writes that “little evidence exists to support the theory that Clarkson’s praise for Paul helped her sales.” In fact, the Hollywood Reporter argues that Ms. Clarkson’s album sales actually dropped compared to the previous week.

Hmm…..a hypocritical, Soros supported, lying organization that exists to smear others, is getting a dose of their own medicine……the irony of it, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Let’s just hope this is just the beginning of what might turn out to be something very entertaining, with a tiny bit of justice thrown in, for good measure.

But they really do feel that way. It;s been hidden until now. I would bet they were not hacked.

  @Bad
  Having posted there ( until I could stomach the company no longer ! ) I can totally agree with you. The liberal socialist progressive is a sick twisted beast that will rend it’s own children to suit it’s selfish ends. They are as morally a bankrupt bunch as can be found anywhere on earth, even if it were Germany in 1939.
  And I doubt they were hacked .
