This rather horrible link takes you to a page that lists most of the services you can setup 2-step verification for, its well worth doing, and means people can't get into your account without your phone.

I can still see the new swat tweet too.

I think that if you report a tweet Twitter maybe hides it from you as you obviously found it offensive?

He's using a few Twitter accounts, it's probably deleted from one but still on the others.

Don't engage with him and you'll probably be fine.

That interview with the Mirror is bizarre.

I've absolutely no idea if it's relevant (probably not), but within the last 24 hours I've found I can no longer access one of my e-mail accounts. A BT one.

It is the one that MN used to be registered to before I changed it about 6 months ago.

This user name wasn't on "the list" though - not sure if any of my previous ones were as I can't remember them!

The thing is by getting the police on his trail as well, he's asking for it properly.

I think he has issues with his own father tbh. Probably misses being spanked or something. And blames his mother for not preventing it.

Thus all women are bitches and he likes the thrill of being in trouble.

I'm looking on Twitter (registered but barely ever use it) - but I don't actually know who he is.

I can see it too

I thought it was a bizarre interview too. At first I thought it was written by Jeffrey but it looks like a genuine link. I don't normally read the Mirror though so figured I just wasn't familiar with their style.

I'm sure he has reposted the SWAT photo, the time stamp has changed.

I see a couple of people have tried to engage with 'him' (it could be a number of people).

Mumsnet seems so innocuous. Seems so bizarre for someone to use all their energy destroying it. And the swatting thing is ridiculous. I've blocked him, won't be trying to get sense out of him again. I see another Twitter user has been insulting him, brave person!

Well now we know, if he does do it again, what it involves. I am sure the police will be waiting for him to call this time.

SWAY pic/tweet is showing an time stamp of 1hr, which is when I first saw it so I dont think its reposted.

diddl

I didn't have to dereg. just contacted MNHQ and asked what can be done (actually as I said nothing to do with hacking, initially, but couldn't reset password so had to be sorted)

can that tweet about new sawtting be reported to the police?

*swatting

Just marking place, with a nice new name.

I can't see the profile of dadsec anymore on tweeter it looks like his account got suspended again. I could see it about 30 min ago.

He's still live on Twitter Fleur changed his username slightly last night.

Also has a new web page after the last one got shut down

God this is dull. Do you think he'll go away if we just ignore him? That's what I do with teenage tantrums.

Which one? The one about half an hour ago with the swat picture was dadsec.

PM Fleur

Ah just found it again with an underscore

We have reported his latest Tweets to the police who are following all of this.
