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.
