Jeep's Twitter Hacked

From Burgers to Cars now... worldwide known company Jeep have has their official Twitter account compromised now in a similar fashion to yesterdays Burger King / McDonald's incident.

According to Jeep's profile, they have been sold to Cadillac, similar to how Burger King was sold to McDonalds yesterday. Jeep's profile bio comes with the two hashtags #OpMadCow (Operation Mad Cow) and #OpWhopper (Operation Whopper - which I'm gathering was the codename for yesterdays attack).

Not too sure if tomorrow will also bring yet another company's Twitter to the hands of hackers.

Stay safe. :)

A little under an hour ago, Burger King's official Twitter account, got compromised and turned into its rivals, McDonald's. The profile background and header image were changed to images of Chicken McNuggets and Fish McBites, whilst the profile picture was changed to the well-known Golden Arches.

It is unsure at the moment who compromised the account, but this incident isn't going to go down well with Burger King's social media team.

**UPDATE** As of 6.15pm~ish (GMT), the official Burger King... [read more]
