 Carlton and United Breweries' corporate affairs Twitter account has been hit by hackers over the weekend, sending out links to malicious software.

On Saturday the @CUB_CorpAffairs account posted spam messages including ‘The fastest way to lose body fat in 2 weeks’, and sent direct messages to followers which contained links to viruses.

It is its first activity since the August 31, when a link to the Beer Chase advert was posted, and the posts had not been deleted as of am today. The gaff is the latest in a line of social media blunders by Australian brands.
