BNP and Nick Griffin Twitter accounts get hacked
The Twitter accounts of the British National Party and its leader Nick Griffin have been hacked.Someone claiming to be affiliated to hacking group Anonymous took credit for the hack but said it was a "random" attack and claimed not to have a political motive.When asked what they planned to do with the accounts, the purported hacker replied: ""No sure, any ideas? I don't really give a ****. It was just a random target. I'm not even from GB."Their activity so far has been limited to posting a string of lewd comments which are still visible on the site now, almost 24 hours on, suggesting the hack has gone unnoticed.

At least one wag suggested the messages were an upgrade on Griffin's usual posts.The childish comments posted by the people who hacked the BNP Twitter account are the most sensible things ever posted on it.
