PayPal UK's Twitter profile commandeered by angry hacker
Found on Naked Security on Tuesday, 05 July 2011
At approximately 21:20 GMT a hacker took control of the Twitter account of online payment broker PayPal UK.
For almost two hours the attackers had control of the profile and have even taken to changing the avatar photo. As of 23:15 GMT the profile had been taken offline.
It appears whoever has hacked the account is having some kind of a dispute with PayPal over a frozen account.
With all the horror stories about Paypal randomly freezing accounts, demanding bills as proof and generally being a PITA, it's no surprise. In fact, it's surprising that this doesn't happen more often.
