This, as hackers — through its massive hack — on Wednesday (US time) were trying to deceive Twitter users into sending cryptocurrency bitcoin.
In a report on AFP News, the list of Twitter accounts that were being hacked by hackers rapidly increased to include Barack Obama, Uber, Joe Biden, bitcoin specialty firms, and a lot more.
Jack Dorsey, the Chief Executive Officer at Twitter, said in his tweet that it was a “tough day” for them as they all felt terrible this happened.
Dorsey also said that Twitter was diagnosing and would share everything they can when they had a “more complete understanding” about the incident.
The Biden campaign told AFP News that Twitter then temporarily locked down the hacked account and quickly removed the bogus tweet.
