LAPD Says Twitter Account 'Compromised' After 'White Supremacists' Tweet
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) - The Los Angeles Police Department's official Twitter account was apparently hacked Monday with a message calling the department "white supremacists".
The tweet was deleted minutes after it was posted just before 2 p.m. on the @LAPDHQ account.
The department later tweeted this statement: "We are aware that our #LAPD account was compromised and are taking the proper steps to resolve this issue."
It's unclear exactly how the account was compromised.
