Flip side to Burger King Twitter hack: Many new followers

Burger King saw a surprising upside after its Twitter account was compromised on Monday: tens of thousands of people began following its account.

Those people may have started following the burger chain’s feed in hopes of seeing more bizarre and profane messages. But by Monday evening, the company tweeted: “Interesting day here at Burger King, but we’re back! Welcome to our new followers. Hope you all stick around!”
