Now, PayPal UK's twitter account falls prey to hackers

LONDON: Online payment service
PayPal has reportedly become
the latest victim of hackers.
The company's UK PayPal
Twitter feed was breached and
the person behind the hacking
started posting messages and
'retweeting' other people's
messages, the Daily Mail reports.
The hacker also changed the
profile information with its
description becoming 'The
official twitter account for the
fail team at PayPal UK'
The twitter account was also
used to promote a website
called 'paypalsucks.com', a site
that calls into questions the
payment processing's business
practices and number of
customer complaints.
A tweet sent from the hacked
account read "All your paypal
accounts are now frozen while
we clean up this mess".
Anuj Nayar, Director of
Communications, for PayPal said
that company's Twitter feed
was targeted by hackers but
reassured all customers that
PayPal's UK customer systems
and data had not been breached
or hacked in any way.
