Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s account hacked
Hackers on Saturday broke into Twitter Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jack Dorsey’s account and posted a flurry of rogue tweets, including racial slurs.
The micro-blogging platform later said that it secured Dorsey’s account which became a victim of ‘SIM swapping’ or ‘SIM jacking’ where a mobile number is transferred to a new SIM card.
By taking control of Dorsey’s number, hackers posted tweets via text messages on his Twitter account.
