PayPal UK Twitter Account Hacked
EBay Inc. (EBAY)’s PayPal said its Twitter account in the U.K. was hacked and later suspended, though no user data were breached.earlier this month Fox News Twitter account was hacked and Spreads Obama's Death prank.
After recovering thier account they tweeted:
“This account was hacked earlier. We have it in our control now. Your personal data is still 100% safe, hack occurred on Twitter not PayPal”
Attacks on Twitter accounts belonging to celebrities, companies and brands aren’t as harmful as attacks that actually steal user data — like the recent attack on Sony’s PlayStation Network — but are just as awkward.
