Belgian foreign minister’s Twitter hacked, profane message sent aimed at Canada

OTTAWA — The Belgian government says a profane Twitter message featuring a photo of former prime minister Stephen Harper is the work of hackers, not their foreign affairs minister.
Someone accessed the account belonging to Didier Reynders, using it to send a meme of an angry-looking Harper telling off Canadians, complete with the F-word.
The subtext of the tweet appears to be the fact that a region of Belgium is standing firm in its opposition to the Canada-EU free trade deal, known as CETA.
A tweet from the department’s verified account Tuesday said recent messages published on Reynders’s account were not his.
