Australian minister blames hackers over Twitter porn 'like'
An Australian government minister has said hackers are responsible for a "Like" on his Twitter account to a pornographic video. The activity on Minister for Defence Industry Christopher Pyne's profile at about 02:00 local time on Thursday was pointed out by other Twitter users. Mr Pyne said hackers had possibly liked the gay pornography as "Mischief" after Australia's same-sex marriage vote. Some Twitter users responded to his explanation with scepticism, while others raised concerns over possible security implications. Many users compared it to a similar incident in September where US senator Ted Cruz's Twitter account "Liked" a pornographic video.
