Ask HN: How was the Burger King Twitter account hacked?

[doubleshadow]

I often see in the news that X twitter account was hacked; how exactly does that happen?

[damian2000]

Maybe another account password was hacked and they used the same password for Twitter. Or their password was really bad, like "123456" or "password".

[imwhimsical]

I happened to read that their password was "whopper123"
