Kim Kardashian West, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg, and Bill Gates were among the accounts hacked. Twitter says it believes about 130 accounts were targeted in the attack. Twitter has limited functionality for all verified accounts, including those that showed no evidence of being compromised, while they investigated the issue. The company says it’s continuing to investigate whether non-public data related to the accounts was compromised. The attack is believed to be a coordinated social engineering attack by people who successfully targeted some of Twitter’s employees.”]
