Did they brute force, just a luck guess, got control of the e-mail account that is backstopped, get the password from a phishing attack? Come on Gigaom, do more than the other big news outlets.

Or… who cares about this non-story?

This is the latest example of a non-event that I’m using as a way of siphoning off the so-called social media experts who actually haven’t got a clue what they’re talking about.

Where do you start with this one? Looks like someone and their boss (and their boss) are looking for a job.

“The strange Twitter activity took place after hackers apparently took control of Burger King’s account and replaced its name and image with the McDonald’s logo.”

I guess that’s what we call a “MacHack”….
