Hackers get into Jeep's Twitter account

UPDATED 15:39 PM EST, February 19, 2013

DETROIT (AP) — A Chrysler spokesman says someone hacked into the Jeep brand's twitter account Tuesday afternoon, making false Tweets for about an hour until the company that handles its social media regained control.

The move was similar to a similar incident involving the Burger King restaurant chain on Monday, although it's unclear if the two incidents are linked.

Hackers posted that the Jeep brand had been sold to Cadillac because employees had been caught using pills. They also posted that there would be no more Jeep production.
