Someone took control of the Twitter account of Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday morning, sending out a flurry of tweets suggesting that the Russian prime minister was fed up with President Putin and that he was quitting to become a freelance photographer. The Russian-language account was hacked shortly after 10am local time, the Moscow Times suggested. Medvedev’s English-language account was unaffected, and by the time of writing, a few hours after the hack, the tweets had been deleted.
