Miriam Dalli’s Twitter profile hacked, report filed with police cybercrime unit

Energy Minister Miriam Dalli has revealed her Twitter account had been hacked over the weekend.

The minister said on Facebook that she had filed a report with the police cybercrime unit.

After the Twitter profile was hacked, it falsely claimed Dalli had relocated to New York.

Dalli’s Twitter account icon was changed, and was retweeting spam posts on game consoles. Her account appears to have been hacked on 20 January. 

“To Twitter followers, I am still living in Malta! My Twitter account was hacked over the weekend. We are working to resolve the situation, and police reports with the cybercrime unit have been filed,” Dalli said on Monday.

“I wanted to thank everyone who got in touch. Your support is much appreciated,” Dalli said.
