Hackers target Jeep's Twitter account
Posted: 02/19/2013
(WXYZ) - Hackers have hit another corporation's Twitter account, this time targeting Jeep.
The attack is similar to one that hit Burger King's Twitter account on Monday. In that attack the hackers posted that Burger King had been sold to McDonalds.
This time the hackers posted that Jeep has been sold to Cadillac. The Jeep Twitter icon was also changed to the Cadillac brand logo.
It is not clear who is behind the attack. However, the attack does reference the hashtag #OpMadCow, which was used in yesterday's attack on Burger King.
