Tech Article - Twitter accounts HACKED! What is this TWADDLE?

The article I read can be found here.

     On the week of February 21, 2013, twitter accounts of  popular brands were hacked. For example, Jeep's account was hacked and the hacker changed the picture to the Cadillac logo and tweeted that they sold the company. Other accounts that were hacked are Burger King, NBC News, and PayPal UK. On every account that was hacked, the hacker tweeted things like "We just sold our company! What a great day!" or things that just made them look bad. The same hackers were linked to the hacking of FOX News' account in 2011 when the hacker tweeted that President Obama was assassinated.

                               

                      

This is a screenshot of the tweet stating that President Obama was assassinated.
