Is there a hacking epidemic? Earlier this week, Burger King saw its Twitter account get a McDonald’s makeover, and then Jeep had its feed taken over by pranksters less than 24 hours later.
Less mischievous and more ominous, earlier this month, both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal were infiltrated, reportedly by Chinese hackers with ties to the government. And the hacktivist collective Anonymous has taken credit for a breach of the U.S. State Department.
Facebook, Apple and Twitter were all targeted recently as well, possibly by the same Eastern European gang.
