Burger King dethroned in Presidents Day Twitter hack

The Burger King account was hacked on the U.S. holiday honoring her presidents. It appears to have been done more for the lulz than to cause any lasting harm. Many brands are using tools to allow multiple people to post to a Twitter feed without disclosing the password for the login.

It could also be from having too many cooks in the Twitter kitchen.”]
