Someone opposed to proposed internet piracy laws and claiming ties to the “Anonymous” hacker movement hacked the Twitter account of Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, in protest of his support for the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect IP ACT.
“Dear Iowans, vote against ACTA, SOPA, and PIPA, because this man, Chuck Grassley, wants YOUR internet censored and all of that BS,” the surreptitious tweeter wrote from Grassley’s account. “And yes, I am an Anonymous follower,” the hacker added in the next tweet.
The hacker also tweeted Grassley’s Twitter password. “Hey guys let’s have a contest: Whoever can change the password to this account the quickest has to tweet to me whoever got it. ok? ready?”
