Someone Hacked The Russian Prime Minister's Twitter Account And Announced ...

Someone apparently took control of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's Russian-language Twitter account early on Thursday morning.

The verified account, @MedvedevRussia, first raised suspicion with a tweet sent out at 11:12 pm PDT which read (via Google Translate): 'Resign. Ashamed of the actions of the government. I'm sorry.'

Medvedev's English-language account did not appear to be affected.
