Twitter App Hack Spews Swastikas and Turkish Spam

Sites tied to Amnesty International, BBC’s North American service, Forbes magazine, the European Parliament and even tennis star Boris Becker were affected.

Security experts say users’ biographies may also have been changed and arbitrary accounts followed.”]
