Hackers Change Tampa Mayor’s Twitter Name to ‘Bob Cuckhorn,’ Use Account to Announce Fake Nuclear Missile Threat

Hackers gained access to Tampa, FL Mayor Bob Buckhorn’s Twitter account Wednesday night, leading them to announce a false nuclear missile threat and change the city official’s display name to “Bob Cuckhorn.”

The since-removed ballistic missile warning read, “EMERGENCY ALERT BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAD INBOUND TO TAMPA BAY AREA. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THS IS NOT A DRILL.”

Buckhorn regained access to his account this morning and returned it to normal.
