Minister says his Twitter was ‘compromised’ after porn tweet

Alex White appeared to ‘favourite’ a tweet which included an image of a naked woman.

Updated 22:59

SOMETHING UNUSUAL APPEARED on the Twitter feed of the Minister of State at the Department of Health Alex White yesterday.

Just after 10pm last night, it appeared the minister ‘favourited’ a tweet by @lustsinner69, which showed what was described as a “beautiful goddess” who was naked, bar a t-shirt covering her shoulders.

The account, called Best Teenies, says that its models are over 18 years of age.

White has since made his Twitter account private. When contacted by TheJournal.ie, the Labour TD for Dublin South said:

My twitter account was compromised. I am changing my password settings to protect the security of the account.

This isn’t the first time an Irish politician has claimed his Twitter account was hacked.

Fianna Fáil’s Michael McGrath said his Facebook account was hacked last year, after the account ‘liked’ a site delivering pictures of MILFs.

Last year, Jim  Higgins, the Fine Gael MEP denied using “foul language” on his Twitter, stating someone else had accessed it.
