No matter who or what you are, your social media profiles and accounts can be hacked by anyone – which is just what the Kenyan Defence Force found out on Monday.
The Kenyan military’s Twitter account was breached on Monday morning with a tweet which read:

The Kenya Defence Force’s spokesman, Major E K Chirchir, also had his account hacked into by known Anonymous member Anon_0x03.

While he has been quiet from the spokesperson’s account, he has used the Kenyan Defence Force to highlight several social-economic issues:
So much poverty in Africa while you are wasting money in guns.

He also seems to be rather unhappy with current president Uhuru Kenyatta, and launched a series of tweets to vent his anger:
Dear @UKenyatta By popular demand, the people have requested that u PISS OFF! — Kenya Defence Forces (@kdfinfo) July 21, 2014
President @ukenyatta says KE safe. Then he buys a heavily armored vehicle. All for one & one for all !

At the time of writing, Anon_0x03 has held control of both Twitter accounts for more than nine hours.
