Default Amazon's PR too aggressive for its own good

Company's security feared its social media account had been hacked

Amazon's PR department was so obnoxious and arrogant when lobbying a lawmaker that the company's security team believed its social media account had been hacked.

When you have shedloads of cash, and the US political system is open to bribery, er lobbying, it seems that your PR team does not have to mince its words.

Amazon's public relations account sent a number of tweets taunting public officials, staffers were so concerned about the "unnecessarily antagonistic" tone that a security engineer filed a suspicious activity report, believing that the company's social media account had been hacked.

According to internal company documents obtained by The Intercept, a tweet, responding to Rep. Mark Pocan's criticism of Amazon labour practices, said: "You don't really believe the peeing in bottles thing, do you?"
