ITV flies white flag for France as account is ‘infiltrated’
ITV London is the latest Twitter account to be hacked, it seems, after a tweet was sent saying a free (white) flag was to be given to all rebels.The tweet, which has now been deleted, read ‘Francois Hollande to double aid to rebels, including a complementary French flag with every aid package’.Never mind the fact that it should have been ‘complimentary’, the picture attached to the tweet featured a fully white flag.ITV News tweeted saying it knew about the issue.
We are aware that the @itvlondon account has been infiltrated and are working to return to normal service as soon as possible.
