Hacked Chipotle Twitter: "Fuck the Government and the FBI"
Chipotle Mexican Grill's Twitter account was hacked last night. The hackers changed the avatar to a Nazi swastika and sent a number of racist and otherwise offensive tweets.
At one point, the brand's bio read, "The official Twitter account of @TUGFeds and @TheCeltic666." Both of those accounts have been suspended. The location was listed as "The Bharath Household." At another point it was listed as "Swagville."
So if you work in the media department at Chipotle, how much of a panic attack are you having right now? pic.twitter.com/uPhp0WtrxC

The Daily Dot screencapped a tweet from @TheCeltic666 claiming responsibility for the hack, claiming that it was perpetrated, as ever, "for the lulz."
If @ChipotleTweets doesn't open a restaurant on my island I will assume this represents opinions of the corporation pic.twitter.com/qF7OT70tml

Chipotle has regained control of its account—for now.
