Breaking: Jeep Twitter account hacked, bad language, poor grammar and some hilarity ensue
Filed under: Jeep
Just a day after Burger King's Twitter account was compromised by "unauthorized users," Jeep's social media feed has been similarly hacked. Both instances of digital incursion share some similarities - the BK hackers changed the company's logo for McDonald's familiar golden arches, saying a sale had occurred, while the Jeep miscreants have replaced Jeep's branding with that of General Motors property Cadillac.
The resulting tweets from the damaged Jeep account have been a pretty brutal, to put it bluntly. Most of the content coming from the hacked account is unpublishable here, using language that is peppered with racial epithets, and poorly worded "shout outs."
In addition to the defamatory tweets themselves, the hackers have significantly altered the layout of the page. Jeep's header image now features a picture of the Cadillac ATS to go along with the Wreath and Crest, some language calling out that car as winning the 2013 North American Car of the Year award, and this gem: "The official Twitter handle for the Jeep(R) - Just Empty Every Pocket, Sold To Cadillac =[" Also, perhaps in an ode to yesterday's Burger King heist, the background image for the page now features a McDonald's-themed donk. The devil's in the details, we guess.
Stay tuned to @Jeep's feed, as the inevitable shut down, recapture, and public explanation/apology are sure to play out in short order. Don't forget to change your passwords, kids.

Jeep's Official Twitter Account Hijacked (Just Like Burger King's)
“Sold To Cadillac.” By the same crew who did the Burger King hack yesterday.
The same people who pulled off a hour-long hijacking of Burger King's account yesterday have struck again, this time taking over Jeep's official Twitter feed. The posts are similar in nature: shoutouts to the same handful of Twitter users, including @lilinternet and @dfntsc, and there are links to many of the same pictures and videos as yesterday.
The hack has lasted nearly an hour. Twitter has not yet responded to a request for comment.
