Burger King Hacked by McDonald's
Early Monday morning Burger King's twitter was hacked by a group of people and made to look like the twitter page for McDonald's. Salvador Rodriguez writes about it in an article titled, "Burger King's Twitter Page Hacked, Made to Look Like McDonald's" published on February 18, 2013, in the Los Angeles Times. The entire page has been completely altered, from the profile picture to the cover photos and even tweets. Instead of having the Burger King logo as the profile picture hackers changed it to the McDonald's logo and replace cover photos with pictures of McDonald's food. The last time Burger King seemed to be in control of the twitter account was Sunday night. The hackers have identified themselves to be a part of the LulzSec group, who have previously gone after several other companies such as, Sony and other governmental agencies. It surprises me how open they are about their hacking skills, considering its illegal. However, I find this extremely funny and it shows the great rivalry between the two great American burger companies.
