Hacker of Thai PM's Twitter account 'identified'

Starting at 10.20am yesterday, eight messages were posted to Twitter@PouYingluck. The highlights are as follows:

"This country is a business we run for our cronies and not for the Thai people. We serve our supporters and not our opponents."

"Do the poor have a chance? We are exploiting the poor hoping for their votes to support us to plunder the country."

"Is it time for our country to change for the better and not project an image to aid businesses, vested interests and relatives?"

"Education is most important to the country. But why is there a policy for free distribution of tablets instead of a curriculum or wage hike for teachers?"

"You can't protect even your Twitter account. How can you safeguard the country? Think about it my brothers and sisters."

They were followed at 10.50am by a self-confession.

"Please be informed that a hacker has accessed the account and none of the messages is being posted by PM Yingluck."

Pheu Thai deputy spokesman Sunisa Lerpakawat said the prime minister was aware of the unauthorised access.

Authorities have identified the man suspected of using his cellphone to hack into the Twitter account of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

"I know who and where you are and it's just a matter of time before police arrest you," Information and Communications Technology Minister Anudith Nakornthap said.
