Following the hacking of the official Twitter account of the British National Party (BNP), the Anonymous hacker calling himself Anon_0x03 has hacked the account of Nick Griffin, chairman of the BNP and Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for North West England.

Griffin's Twitter account was hacked on May 3 and still appears to be controlled by the hacker. The hacker sent messages on the social network to various users, including British Prime Minister David Cameron.

Anon_0x03 has also changed the profile description on Griffin's account, saying that he is the president and member of the European LGBT community.

The hacker claims to have compromised Griffin's official website, but the page appears to have been restored. Anon_0x03 claims that the same password is used to manage the website, manage the Twitter account, and an email account.

Griffin's Facebook page appears to be untouched, but there is no report of his Twitter account being hacked.
