WHAT’S GOING ON: Upstate Congressman’s Facebook Account Hacked
Late yesterday afternoon, the Facebook fan page of Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-SC4) displayed a status update that, at first glance, would appear that the Upstate representative or the staffer in charge of his account flipped the calendar a month and a day too soon.
The status read, “Today is the 60th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. December 7, 1941 is a ‘date which will live in infamy.’-FDR”
A source close to Congressman Gowdy’s office confirmed that the House freshman knew exactly what date it was and that his fan page had been hacked.
The post was quickly removed.
If someone hacked a Congressman’s FB page, I would think they could come up with something worse than this? Strange but then again I often wonder about people that like to do things such as hack a FB page or twitter account. Too much time on their hands?
