Twitter attacked over lack of security after Burger King account is hacked

While most Americans were winding up their Presidents' Day holiday weekend last week, the phones at the headquarters of HootSuite, a social-media management company in Vancouver, Canada, began to ring.

Burger King's Twitter account had just been hacked. The company's logo had been replaced by a McDonald's logo, and rogue announcements had begun to appear. One was that Burger King had been sold to a competitor; other posts were unprintable.
