ANONYMOUS USA has hacked a Twitter account that was posing as Zack Tahhan, the man who caught the Brooklyn Subway Shooter.

The hacker group tweeted from the account that they hacked into the account “at the request of some people because it was impersonating the name of the New York Hero Zack Tahhan.”

Zack Tahhan reportedly identified and notified the police of Frank James' location.

Previous tweets from the account are written in first-person as if they were written by Tahhan.

Another tweet from the account reads: “This account (Twitter) is being managed by a group of social media experts. Fans of Zack.”

The account was taking donations for Tahhan, but later tweeted they had all been returned.

Most of the previous tweets were deleted, but some remain, including posts where “Zack” thanks people who were posting videos of interviews with him.
