Burger King's Twitter feed today fell victim to hackers who changed its branding to that of rival fast food chain McDonald's on the social networking site.
No one has admitted being behind the stunt, but hacking collective Anonymous appeared to have tweeted about the incident extensively.
The Burger King account was suspended tonight but a screengrab posted by @AnonymousPress showed the @BurgerKing's Twitter page where it was written: "Burger King USA official Twitter account. Just got sold to McDonalds because the whopper flopped."
