SAN FRANCISCO: Twitter is investigating a massive hack in which high-profile users from Elon Musk to Joe Biden had their accounts hijacked by scammers who the social network believes targeted its employees to gain access to internal systems.
“They used this access to take control of many highly-visible… accounts,” the company said, adding that it was investigating “what other malicious activity they may have conducted or information they may have accessed.” US President Donald Trump’s account, which has more than 83 million followers, was not among those hacked.
Twitter added that the network was largely back to normal, but that it “may take further actions and will update you if we do”.
