According to Harriet Alexander's article on the telegraph Nicolas Maduro's twitter was hacked last Sunday by well known hacker Lulz Peru. The online activist Lulz has targeted Sony, Nintendo, and broadcasters Fox. American network PBS was hacked after it made a documentary critical of WikiLeaks.
Just moments after Maduro changed his twitter profile saying "President (elect) of Venezuela, son of Chavez” Lulz changed it to read “Nicolas Maduro: Stooge of Barack Obama, hacked by Lulz Peru.” Lulz also changeed Maduro's twitter picture to his logo of a a mustachioed man with a monocle, drinking a glass of red wine.
Lulz then wrote " Cutting the internet in Venezuela is the most stupid thing which they have done." Maduro's Twitter account was not the only page that was hacked. Other hackers have made changes to Maduro's official websites. Hackers have gone as far as to attack the Twitter accounts of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela and of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States.
