Reading time: 1 minute
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is investigating the possible hack of Chief Constable George Hamilton’s Twitter account.
A tweet which appeared on Mr Hamilton’s account and was later removed could have been part of a malicious hack, police believe.
According to BBC News, the mystery tweet contained a person’s name followed by a jumble of letters.
Detective Chief Inspector Michael Harvey, head of the PSNI’s Cyber Crime Centre, said: “At this time we believe there is a possibility the account was maliciously hacked. Enquiries are currently ongoing. There are no further details at this time.”
