Saudi tycoon Al Waleed bin Talal’s official account hacked
In a satirical comment after the Saudi–led coalition and air strikes on the Houthi rebels in Yemen, the hacker posted a tweet on the air strike.
The official account of Saudi tycoon Prince Al Waleed bin Talal, President of the Kingdom Holding Company was hacked yesterday, Saudi online newspaper Sabaq learned.
In a comment after the Saudi–led coalition and air strikes on the Houthi rebels in Yemen, the hacker posted a tweet on the air strike, dubbed 'Decisive Storm' tweeting, “After congratulations on the success of the Decisive storm, and appreciating the 100 Saudi pilots who took part in the operation, I have the honour to present them 100 Bentley cars”.
Sources said prince Talal shortly had managed to restore his official account, and deleted the tweet posted by the hacker, but his personal account was still functionless, and work is underway to bring it back to work.
