A number of Twitter accounts, including major brands and institutions are getting hijacked right now. Everyone from Duke University to major fast food outlets to Nike Spain are getting hacked with a swastika and a reference to April 16th, a date when a referendum will be held in Turkey to give President Erdogan more power.

Apparently the hack is caused by a third party app called Twitter Counter.

(Literal) Translation (by yours truly):
#Nazigermany #Naziholland
This is a small #OTTOMANSLAP to you
See you on #April16th
What did I write? (Turkish flag) LEARN TURKISH

(video title translates as "We Will Sadden Who Saddens Our 'Reis'" ("Reis" is a Turkish word close in meaning to 'Chief', and is commonly used reverently by Erdoğan's supporters to refer to him.)

This asshole's dogs are being rather classy, aren't they?

I seriously do not blame the Dutch for wanting to steer clear from these rabid fools, but it's all the more depressing to think about how these people and those like them will be the ones in power once the referandum comes around.
