Carr's Twitter account hacked

Cape Town - Stormers loose forward Nizaam Carr had his Twitter account hacked on Thursday, but the matter has since been resolved and the offending Twitter account has been shut down with immediate effect.

WP Rugby issued a statement on the matter, as follows: “Unfortunately Nizaam Carr’s Twitter account was hacked and, ultimately, taken over by someone who was responsible for a series of vitriolic posts via Nizaam’s account – unbeknown to Nizaam.

“This person who hacked Nizaam’s account then also managed to lock Nizaam out of his own account – thereby not allowing him to delete any of those posts or, crucially, to deactivate the account with immediate effect.
