Sepp Blatter's Twitter account hacked
FIFA have confirmed the Twitter accounts of president Sepp Blatter and his World Cup team were hacked last night, with a series of controversial messages left on both.
So what if I took money from Qatari prince? I am the family’s bread earner
The hacking began with a message that read: “FIFA executives held a meeting regarding the decision to host the 2022 World Cup in #Qatar
“It was decided that the president Sepp Blatter is to step down due to corruption charges.”
A message on Blatter’s account then said: “So what if I took money from Qatari prince? I am the family’s bread earner.”
A group called the Syrian Electronic Army claimed responsibility.
