An Irishman who was instrumental in bringing Hollywood actor George Clooney to Ireland for the first time claims his business has been the target of hackers since the actor’s visit. When pictures of African elephants and exotic snakes started to appear on the Facebook page about Irish Heritage Towns, he realised he'd been hacked. The Facebook page which has 53,000 likes continues to remain hacked. So far, analysis of the Facebook page, shows it has 75% reach into the United States and this hacking episode is really, really affecting my business and destroying it. The Clooneys have Irish heritage on both sides of the family, though most significantly on the paternal side.
