Doyle Brunson Twitter Account Hacked

Getting any of your social media accounts hacked can really be a nightmare, even for a regular person. But if you are a celebrity with a following of some 450,000 people, than having someone gain access to your Twitter account and posting bunch of random and unpleasant stuff probably feels really bad, especially as you and the entire world watch it and can't do much about it.

This is exactly what happened to one of the poker greats, Doyle Brunson, as someone gained access to his Twitter account and started tweeting a sort of tweets that you certainly would not expect from 'TexDolly'.

Those who keep up with Twitter will know that Doyle has been quite active on there and his tweets have been known to initiate more than one debate over the course of years. However, although sometimes controversial, his Twitter feed never looked like during the past 24 hours or so.

The real question is, who would be interested in hacking Doyle's account and what is a motivation behind it. It is not entirely impossible that someone who doesn't share his views of certain matters got overly upset and decided to take this action.

It looked like Doyle finally got his account back earlier today and that the whole Twitter drama was over, but either the hacker was just trolling, or he was able to regain the control some hours later, as inexplicable tweets started pilling up again.

I think I have my account back. Little creep from Ga hacked me#notgood

We are not sure if Doyle or someone close to him have tried to get in touch with Twitter and stop this. Perhaps Twitter is not able to offer too much assistance if Doyle's mail was hacked as well and it will now take a while before the account is returned to its legitimate owner.

It also seems that all of Doyle's old tweets were deleted once the hacker took over and whether these can and would be restored once Brunson gets his account back is a question that only people from Twitter can answer.

In the meantime, it seems that there is no stopping fake 'TexDolly'...
