Hackers Apparently Strike Jeep Twitter Account
Only 24 hours after the Burger King hoax, hackers seem to have struck again.
It appears the Twitter account for Jeep has been hacked, making it the second major company in less than 24 hours to have their social media account taken over by mischief-makers.
As they did with the Burger King hack of yesterday [3], the hackers switched the company's Twitter icon to a rival company (in this case Cadillac), though it appears the company may have retaken control of the account (the icon has switched to a default one and the tweeting has stopped).
WELCOME BACK CADILLAC #300

Cadillac, much like McDonald's did on Monday, quickly disavowed any connection with the hack job.
Just to clarify, Cadillac is not connected to the hack of the @jeep [12] Twitter account.

A tweet that Anonymous seemed to find quite amusing.
@cadillac [9] quit lying, we know it's you. @jeep [12]
