Go check the account [1] for yourself, if it's fake it's a long-planted fake strung along with other tweets dating back to August 15th and earlier and describing other known SEA hacks.

If it's not legit it would have to be because they let their own Twitter account get hacked at the same time Twitter was being hacked... which seems very noncompliant with Occam.

a month old? dude, Im not standing on either side of this particular fence, it seems perfectly sensible to me to think that either side might be doing it.

Having said that, what on earth is it about that account that makes you think it has any kind of authority?

To be frank, I just couldn't care less who it was. This action is utterly irrelevant to anything that is happening in the real world.

The account was opened less than a month ago. That's not a long-planted fake.
The word "credulous" comes to mind.
