Robert Dvorsky, the US senator’s yahoo e-mail account has been hacked by a group of online rogues.

It was confirmed when members of the Iowa senator's e-mail contacts list received a message  stating that Dvorsky had been stranded in Scotland and urgently needed financial help.

The amount disclosed was £10,000 needed for the hotel bills, and supposedly he had no access to telephone that’s the reason- mail.

It was County Sheriff Lonny Pulrabek, close friend of senator who informed him about the e-mail and to alert him about his account which was hacked.

In regard of this event the senator said: “It really does make me feel sort-of compromised. You try and be as protective and security-conscious as possible on these things”, reports local TV channel KCRG.
