Twitter accounts tweet swastikas and pro-ErdoÄŸan support in massive hack

Accounts that use third-party analytics service Twitter Counter compromised to tweet in support of Turkey's prime minister

Thousands of Twitter accounts, including high profile ones belonging to users such as Forbes, Amnesty International, the BBC's North American service, and tennis star Boris Becker were compromised on Wednesday morning, resulting in them tweeting propaganda related to Turkey's escalating diplomatic conflict with Germany and the Netherlands.

All the compromised accounts were attacked through their use of a popular third-party analytics service, Twitter Counter.
