Chrysler Group LLC, the U.S. automaker controlled by Fiat SpA, temporarily disabled its Twitter Inc. account for Jeep after hackers replaced the brand’s logo with Cadillac’s and posted bogus statements.

The company is working to restore the account after learning of the development about 1:30 p.m. New York time, Eileen Wunderlich, a spokeswoman for Auburn Hills, Michigan-based Chrysler, said in an interview today. Chrysler doesn’t know who hacked the account, she said.
