Congressman’s Twitter account hacked

It is claimed that a hacker replaced the Congresscritter’s photo with a  “lewd” one and started sending out “unauthorized tweets.” Given that politicians seem genetically incapable of learning from the mistakes of others, my first though would be that this is Yet Another Weinerish Dumbass. There is, however,a  *major* point of difference:

We are currently working with U.S. Capitol Police, House Information Security and Twitter to resolve this matter.”… and they are all treating the breach as a serious matter.

Well, sure. Hacking a government officials computer system, even something as basically innocuous as Twitter, should be a source of concern.
