NY Politician Caught Following Adult Film Star On Twitter, Blames Hackers

On Thursday, New York Suffolk County politician Steve Bellone decided to cry Hacked! when The Post tried to ask him why he was following 19-year-old Duke University and porn actress Belle Knox on Twitter.
Bellone only followed 267 people on Twitter at the time, so Knoxs adult material wasnt difficult to spot amongst the other political figures, media, organizations and coalitions that Bellone followed. Now, Bellone only follows 266 Twitter pages, as he seems to have unfollowed Knox.
When word got out about the dirty little secret on Bellones following list, the married father of three seeking re-election next year claimed he had no idea how it happened, and that he himself never even logs in or uses the account. His spokeswoman, Vanessa Baird-Streeter, said:
County Executive Bellones Twitter account, which is operated by his staff, has been hacked and an obscene Twitter account was subsequently followed.
"Hacked"? Is that what they call it on Long Island?
