John Daly's Computer, Social Networking Profiles Hacked

Is JD ever going to get a break? According to the Golf Channel, PGA Tour professional John Daly has been the victim of a computer hacker who took control over his Facebook and Twitter accounts.

In an exclusive interview with Golf Channel, John Daly revealed Friday that his computer has been hacked and that the culprit was behind bogus postings on his Twitter and Facebook accounts and threats to his children.

According to Daly the hacker gained access to his social networks as well as his e-mail account.

“(Daly’s girlfriend Anna Cladakis) got on Facebook and the guy was talking to her and says, ‘If you want this back you know what to do. I will get you and I will get your daughters. I’ll steal their identity.’” Daly said in an interview that will air Saturday on Golf Central at 1:20 a.m. (ET). “Other things that were said scared me to death.”

Daly learned of the incident over the weekend while playing in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital For Children Open Saturday.
