Piers Morgan’s Twitter account taken down after hackers send sickening posts

The hackers told former Prime Minister Boris Johnson to "get a ** haircut you ugly ***" from Morgan's account.

Piers Morgan’s Twitter account was removed from the social media platform late last night after hackers gained access to it and posted racist, lewd and unsavoury comments.

The broadcaster – who has 8.3 million followers on his account – reeled off nearly 100 tweets during the 50-minute attack which started at 3.20 on Tuesday morning (December 27th).

Links to music on Amazon, racist comments to celebrities, unsavoury messages about the late monarch and claims about Somalia were just a handful of subjects that the hackers tweeted about in a chaotic period.

Although his Twitter handle remained @piersmorgan throughout, the account’s username was changed a number of times, including ‘lol’, ‘Michael’ and latterly an obscenity of ‘Piers ****’.

And Twitter are back in control of the account. Looks like a hacker leaking DMs was the trigger at 52 minutes. I still can’t believe it took that long to stop such a high profile hack though. Big questions to be answered here. pic.twitter.com/jHo9EXj0vP

The person behind the hacking started their tirade of sickening messages at 3.20am with a tweet which read: “BREAKING NEWS: Andrew Tate has been found shot dead in Dubai.”

That initial tweet regarding the controversial internet personality, who has previously appeared on Morgan’s Talk TV programme – Uncensored with Piers Morgan, garnered more than 2,000 likes and 1,000 retweets.

Morgan’s account then tweeted unsavoury messages which also involved derogatory and racist language about Queen Elizabeth II.

Celebrities were also publicly messaged with pop superstar Ed Sheeran getting branded “ginger “, American rapper 6ix9ine getting sent a rat emoji, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson was told to “get a ** haircut you ugly ***” and YouTube star Chunkz being sent an inappropriate emoji.

Tweets contradicting Morgan’s thoughts on football were published, including calling World Cup winner Lionel Messi the “real GOAT”, despite his close friendship and admiration for Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the midst of the abhorrent tweets, the hacker did appear to leak a screenshot of messages between Morgan and two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray.

Morgan’s account appeared to have been shut down around 4.45am – 35 minutes after the final abhorrent message – as his profile picture of him and the Queen was taken down.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
