Flemish Education Minister Ben Weyts’ Twitter account was hacked around midnight on the evening of 9 February, with strange messages including "I love acid (not the drug)" being posted.
The account’s Twitter bio was also edited to say "acid is not responsible," replacing his hobbies and competencies. Both messages were still up on the account at 9:00 AM on 10 February.
His spokesperson confirmed to De Standaard that the account has indeed been hacked and that his team is still looking for a solution.
