Just one of a few Fox folks who had their accounts compromised. Turks? Why would Turks want to compromise their accounts? Don’t think it’s Turks.
Fox News host Sean Hannity’s Twitter account briefly disappeared for a couple hours Friday night, prompting rampant speculation as to what happened.
The disappearance occurred after Hannity sent out a mysterious tweet, which read: “Form Submission 1649 | #Hannity.”
After a few hours the verified account reappeared. Hannity has yet to tweet since the incident and Twitter did return a request for comment on what may have happened.
The Daily Beast, however, did obtain a statement from a Twitter spokesperson, saying Hannity’s account was “briefly compromised.”
“While we normally do not discuss individual accounts, for privacy and security reasons, we have permission from the account owner to confirm that account was briefly compromised. We are working with the owner to restore access,” the Twitter spokesperson said.
