UK commentator’s Twitter blanked after mystery hack

The profanities at the British royal family were posted on Piers Morgan’s account under someone else’s control

British media personality Piers Morgan’s official Twitter account has been blanked after hackers calling themselves the “chuckling squad” spent over an hour posting obscenities on Tuesday.

Posting under Morgan’s account - which was renamed several times, to “lol” and “PIERS C**T” among other aliases - the hackers lobbed profanities at the British royal family (“f**k the queen”), former PM Boris Johnson (“get a f**king haircut you ugly bum”) and pop star Ed Sheeran (“you ginger f**ker”).

Some messages appeared to suggest the hackers hailed from Somalia, while in others they tantalized followers with the possibility of revealing Morgan’s private DMs with celebrities. One post erroneously claimed social media influencer Andrew Tate had been “found shot dead in Dubai.”
