Hacker hits CUB corporate comms Twitter

 Carlton and United Breweries’ corporate affairs Twitter account has been hit by hackers over the weekend, sending out links to malicious software.

On Saturday the @CUB_CorpAffairs account posted spam messages including ‘The fastest way to lose body fat in 2 weeks’, and sent direct messages to followers which contained links to viruses.

It is its first activity since the August 31, when a link to the Beer Chase advert was posted, and the posts had not been deleted as of am today. The gaff is the latest in a line of social media blunders by Australian brands.
