The Twitter account of Thailand's prime minister was hacked on Sunday by someone posting criticism of her policies, a government official said.

The unknown hacker ended a series of at least eight postings on the account of Yingluck Shinawatra with a taunt: "If she can't even protect her own Twitter account, how can she protect the country? Think about it."

Most of the messages accused Yingluck's government of incompetence and cronyism. Her Pheu Thai party won a landslide election victory in July, but critics claim she is just a puppet of her brother , former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, ousted by a military coup in 2006 after being accused of corruption, setting off bitter and sometimes violent conflicts between his opponents and supporters.
