The official account for Ford Motor Company on X was apparently compromised in a hacking incident behind a viral post calling Israel a “terrorist state.”

In a statement posted Monday evening, Ford said its X account was “briefly compromised” and several unauthorized posts were shared.

What kind of hack incident?

A truthful one.

Henry would've been proud!

Henry didn't care about Arab states so much as wanted to import them to be his cheap labor. He hated Jews but I'm sure he would've preferred gazans to be refugees so they'd work in his factories for nothing.

Companies are still using Twitter accounts? Why?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why?

200 million daily users probably. Even if half are bots that's still a ton of users.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

2/3rds were bots before half the users left. Now it's 4/3 all bots.

Serves them right for still being on Twitter.

Might be time for Ford to get in on 2FA.

[–] [email protected] 82 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ya they were hacked, but no lies were told.

"Hack"

I call it a disgruntled employee on their way out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

That's a very plausible theory actually.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

That's some direct action... I hope he or she does not get exposed since anti Israeli sentiment under your own name will be punished by the system.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 4 months ago (1 children)

odd since historically ford is known for being PRO genocide.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But con Jews. A real conundrum.
