BANGKOK, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's staff posted a message on Facebook saying the prime minister's Twitter account had been hacked.
"Please be informed that Twitter@PouYingluck page has been hacked. Text messages now showing were not posted by the prime minister," the message said.
Eight politically charged messages were posted to the prime minister's account during the hack, the Bangkok Post reported.
The first, sent at 10:22 a.m., said: "This country is a business. We are doing for our associates, not the Thai people. We are doing for those who support us, not those thinking differently from us."
The last, posted at 10:45 a.m., said: "Even one's own Twitter cannot be protected. How can the country be protected? Think about this."
Information and Communication Technology Minister Anudit Nakhonthap said the hacker used an iPhone and has been identified.
"We knew who did this and from where. But we have to keep this to ourselves because we still have to coordinate with police to make an arrest."
