The accounts of high profile CEO’s of various companies, Publishers, Government officials and some famous Twitter users were used to deliver messages with hashtags #Nazialmanya #Nazihollanda.

This clash started after President Erdogan suspended diplomatic ties with Netherlands and curb his ministers to address rallies of Turkish Nationals living in Netherlands.

They also included the UK Department of Health and BBC North America, both of which subsequently appear to have recovered, along with the profile of Marcelo Claure, the chief executive of U.S. telecoms operator Sprint Corp, which is still hacked.

Other accounts include publishing sites for Reuters Japan, Die Welt and Forbes and several non-profit agencies including Amnesty International and UNICEF USA as well as Duke University.

The Twitter profile of BBC North America noted: “Hi everyone – we temporarily lost control of this account, but normal service has resumed”.
