Hacking Twitter accounts seems to be the “in” thing to do for tech hackers. MTV’s official page was the latest to fail victim to hackings Tuesday just one day after Burger King. Or was it? The name of the Twitter was changed to “Hacked MTV” and the photo was replaced with the generic Twitter egg.

MTV has since restored the account back to normal and had a sense of humor about it, making some believe it was a marketing stunt.

Also Tuesday, Jeep saw its account infiltrated before restoring it according to ABC News .The hackers replaced the Jeep logo with the Cadillac one and sent out tweets with profanities.

Twitter pages aren’t the only target as Apple was hacked Tuesday like Facebook was ABC News also reported. No data was stolen according to Apple.

“Apple has identified malware which infected a limited number of Mac systems through a vulnerability in the Java plug-in for browsers,” Apple said in a statement. “The malware was employed in an attack against Apple and other companies, and was spread through a website for software developers.”

Apple said hackers were able to access a small number of employees’ computers.
