The bogus messages on Blatter’s account included a retweet from Fifa World Cup saying: “It was decided that the president Sepp Blatter is to step down due to corruption charges.
Another tweet on Blatter’s page said: “So what if I took money from Qatari prince? I am the family’s bread earner,” before declaring himself unrepentant.
“His excellency the Emir of Qatar has been the most generous figure I have ever met,” and “I do not apologize for my decision. I have done the best for Fifa. For almost 15 years I have toiled for this organisation.” The official World Cup Twitter account also fell victim to the hackers with several fake messages, including: “Sepp Blatter has been investigated for multiple charges of bribery.”
A group calling themselves the Syrian Electronic Army, supportive of the country’s leader, Bashar Al-Assad, claimed responsibility for hacking the accounts, tweeting: “Syrian Electronic Army Was Here” and “Twitter #Failure… You can’t stop us!” — Eurosport.
