News Station Accidentally Tweets Pornhub Link

If you’re wondering about the rain and storms in Memphis, you might have gotten a big surprise in your Twitter feed today. WREG News Channel 3 briefly directed its Twitter followers to a link that not only had zero radar information about the #memstorm — it was a PornHub user’s profile.

As often happens, whoever runs WREG’s Twitter handle seems to be insinuating that the station’s social media account was hacked:

… As well as encouraging WREG’s many newfound followers to donate to some charitable organisations.

Reminder to all social media managers out there: Make double sure — triple sure — that you’re not tweeting personal stuff from your company’s official Twitter handle. And always, always make sure that you’re pasting the right content from your clipboard.

Although, “Rockbone” would make a pretty great name for a storm. [Romenesko via Charlie Warzel]
