Hot on the trails of the Burger King twitter hack, it appears that the Jeep brand's twitter account has been taken over. It's been rebranded as Cadillac, and claims that a sale has taken place.

Since this appears to be limited to the twitter account, the impact is low and may just bring attention to the fact that Jeep has a twitter account to begin with. This is why I've classified it as a Level One Event, and not a Level Two Attack.

An incident ranking upgrade might be in order if it turns out that the hacked account is used to spread malware.
