Comme de nombreuses personnalités politiques, Frédéric Lefebvre a partagé ses voeux pour 2014 sur Twitter. Malheureusement pour le député UMP, le message a été écrit par un hacker. Du moins, c’est ce qu’il dit. Devenu le réseau social à la mode, Twitter peut aussi s’avérer être la source de très nombreuses histoires, plus oumoins marrantes.
