louisiana state house clerk butch speer twitter account hacked

a little while ago we received an email purportedly a twitter direct message (dm) from @awspeer the account of alfred w. "butch speer, esquire, the clerk of the louisiana state house.

the first thought that came to mind was why would the clerk of the state house care if someone was talking bad about us? we've never met mr. speer nor had any interaction with him whatsoever.

we didnt click the link. instead we went over and viewed his twitter feed:

as you can see the last two tweets are suspicious. also if you notice they came at around the same time as the previous four tweets which makes us wonder about their authenticity as well.

we remembered from our post "the wiggins wiggle versus the dopey rino shuffle" that mr. speer is an attorney so we went back and viewed those pleadings and found his office phone number. though we eventually decided that the phone number on his state bar membership would probably be most current.

so we called it to let him know -- but it being saturday all we got was a machine. hopefully, since the legislature is in session although adjourned for the weekend someone is checking the messages periodically.

in any event, this serves as a good reminder to everyone that nows a good time to change all your accounts password.
