Hackers sympathetic to Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan appear to have taken over the Twitter accounts of former Fox News hosts Eric Bolling and Greta Van Susteren Tuesday.
The hackers taunted Bolling and Van Susteren, tweeting from both accounts, “We got your DM correspondence! We will show you the power of the Turk!”
“It appears that pro Turkish President hackers have taken over Greta Van Susteren’s Twitter account,” tweeted reporter Yashar Ali.

Asked why Twitter’s verification badges disappeared from their profiles, Ali replied, “Because the actual usernames were changed.”
