The account was not active, and was not used in any malicious ways. It took my colleague a lot of effort to try to get some information, but Twitter didn't respond until our IP lawyer send some "language" their way.

It’s great to see the BBC and Twitter acting quickly to resolve this issue. Let this be a lesson to other businesses and organisations - ‘own’ your brands on social networks or there may be trouble ahead. Native have screenshots from the rogue account before it was shut down here. [...] [...] As you’ll notice from the comment below – the BBC now have taken control of the ‘BBC’ username.

For 3 months @bbc was not under the BBC's control. Amazing that (we assume) it wasn't used it to spread false financial info, news or views to seven and a half thousand people and huge network. Wonder who was behind it - will the other @bbc please stand up? Did anyone get any DM's from @bbc? Amazing! For 3 months @bbc was not under the BBC’s control.
