At 11:16, the official user of the diplomatic headquarters – @ EmbajadaEEUUarg – issued: "Lost Cristina". Twenty-four minutes later, the tweet was erased and the explanation came up: "We do not know yet how that happened, but we are investigating."

We remove a tweet from our account that we do not publish. We do not know yet how it happened, but we are investigating.

the period during which the 17-character commando message was available on the network, hundreds of readings were woven, most of them being linked to an alleged reading of the embbady on the result of the poll at Neuquén, where the candidate of Unidad Ciudadana finished second, very far from Omar Gutiérrez, the governor who won the reelection.

For now, the phrase "Lost Cristina" has grown in record time to become a hot topic, one of the topics that has generated more conversations this morning on Twitter.

Diplomatic sources consulted by Infobae cited the official explanation published on the same channel: "We have not posted the message and we are badyzing what happened".

Computer security experts believe that the user has been hacked, which explains the delay in clearing the message and giving a formal explanation about the incident.
