An anonymous user or users posted racial slurs targeting African Americans and promoting Nazi Germany on Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's hacked account Friday.
Why it matters: If Twitter can't quickly regain control of its own CEO's account, a normal person being hacked can't expect much help from the social media company. Chuckling Squad, who was mentioned in the tweets, has been tied to hacks of several YouTube and Instagram level internet celebrities.
What they're saying:
Yes, Jack's account was compromised. We're working on it and investigating what happened.
