The official Twitter account of Sputnik International was hacked by an unknown perpetrator on Sunday. The attack was later confirmed by Sputnik Brazil.

Sputnik Brazil reported that the security breach happened at approximately 06:00 GMT on Sunday. All the tweets that were sent out appear to have been left untouched. However, the account was renamed to “Matt Curtis,” the account description was changed to “m8,” the profile photo was changed from the Sputnik logo to a picture of a man standing on a bridge, and the header photo was deleted.

There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack. Twitter was contacted and the account appears to be locked. It does not appear that Sputnik has regained control of the account.
