Singhs Twitter account, which has 1.2 million followers, was snagged last night, and whoever got hold of it started tweeting a bunch of disparaging things about NBA 2K20. Other accounts caught in the blast included 2K Games itself on Twitter, the publishers Facebook page, and the Borderlands Facebook page.
This handle has been hacked and the recent offensive tweets from this evening have not been written or authorized by Ronnie 2K.
This comes after a week in which hackers overran the accounts of EA Sports FIFA community managers, and used their Twitter handles to post messages in support of a top-flight player banned for repeated abusive conduct.
2Ks hack is a bit more significant, given Singhs sizable followership and the fact 2K Sports has practically written the book on social media management, in building up NBA 2K to a mainstream phenomenon over the past decade.
