Ford’s X account calls Israel a ‘terrorist state’ in apparent hack incident

The official account for Ford Motor Co. on the social platform X was apparently compromised in a hacking incident behind a viral post calling Israel a “terrorist state.”

In a statement posted Monday evening, Ford said its X account was “briefly compromised” and several unauthorized posts were shared.

“They do not represent the views of Ford Motor Company,” the company said in its statement.

Ford said the company and X are investigating the breach.

The apparent hack consisted of three posts that were quickly removed from Ford’s page.

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) posted a screenshot of the three posts made by the hackers.

“Ford Motor Company must have been hacked by the Free Palestine movement,” he captioned the screenshot.

The posts made on Ford’s account include “ALL EYES ON GAZA,” “Israel is a terrorist state,” and “Free Palestine.”
