PayPal Account Hacked Twitter UK

Twitter UK PayPal account was breached late on Tuesday and is used to send messages to attack the online payment company.

The messages, apparently from an angry customer, said the company "froze all my money for no reason." The hacker uses the PayPal account to criticize offensive language of a subsidiary of eBay, including its lack of security, and the people who run aims PayPal, a website that aims to expose "the nightmare of doing business" through PayPal.

The trick is about a day after another high-profile hacking Twitter on behalf of Fox News has been compromised Monday with reports of fake messages that the U.S. President Barack Obama had been shot twice in a restaurant during the Iowa campaign

PayPal confirmed in a statement via email that one of the Twitter accounts in the UK has been hacked. Twitter works separately on behalf of PayPal UK site and no customer data was affected, he added.

In a tweet after regaining control of the account, PayPal apologized and said he had the account under control. PayPal UK also deleted the messages of the attacker.

Twitter is increasingly used in companies, news agencies, governments and politicians to communicate with people, and two high-profile make-up this week is likely to raise doubts about the safety of the platform Twitter to such communication.

Twitter has not responded to the request for comment e-mail about the incident.
