Jack Dorsey, C.E.O. of Twitter, was hacked on Friday. Hackers broke into his Twitter account to claim that the company’s San Francisco headquarters would be bombed and also posted a string of offensive messages that were quickly removed. 

Although Dorsey told a Senate committee last September that his account had dual authentication, [a hack of this size](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/30/technology/jack-dorsey-twitter-account-hacked.html?campaign_id=60&instance_id=0&segment_id=16628&user_id=1950d63c606447885759df9ec65325d6&regi_id=95311634ing-news) highlights the loopholes in online security. Regardless of protective measures, high profile accounts are still at risk. 

**Twitter stated,  **“We’re aware that @jack was compromised and investigating what happened. There is no indication that Twitter’s systems have been compromised.”
