Colin was here Sky News Twitter not hacked as a disaster recovery test message is accidentally posted

Sky News Twitter account looked as though it had been hijacked earlier today. The tweet was quickly deleted, but not before over 7500 people retweeted it. Sky then issued a statement saying it was ‘hacked’ and working with Twitter to prevent it happening again. But it was actually a ‘disaster recovery’ test message which accidentally went live. No one was harmed in the making of this message, says Sky. Who sent ‘Colin’ live remains to be seen, but Sky saw the funny side of it.”]
