Tweeters Make Same Chilling Point About Jack Dorsey's Account Being Compromised

If @jack can be hacked, we're all doomed ...

— James A. Gagliano (@JamesAGagliano) August 30, 2019

If Jack Dorsey can be hacked, someone could hack President Trump’s account, threaten nuclear war with Russia and China, and our adversaries may believe it and act upon it because it’s not necessarily out of character for Trump to announce a nuclear first strike on Twitter. Yikes.

And what if the president’s Twitter was hacked and they didn’t post jokes? If Jack’s account can get hacked, they all can.https://t.co/9b2UjZSf0D

twitter has very real security questions to answer — if Jack’s account can get hacked, what’s to say @realDonaldTrump can’t be hacked to FAR greater consequences?

All of this doesn’t make me feel great for when Trump’s Twitter account is inevitably hacked and it starts World War III. Quite literally.

So if somebody succeeds in hacking @realDonaldTrump's account they could:
- crash the markets (and make $$ on some insider trading)
- start an international incident, maybe even a war
- god knows what else.
Great website ya got here, @jack.

People are asking “Well if Jack be hacked why not Trump.” And this WH’s security practices are so bad that clearly yes he can. But moreover, Trump himself is a security vulnerability. https://t.co/aUWYZK4qdd

Somebody hacked the CEO of Twitter's account. Fortunately, it's not like the president of the United States has an account on here where he makes global policies and can destabilize markets, so the lack of security on the platform shouldn't trouble us too much. https://t.co/FonbleKdbF

Jack filed a report and got an email back saying there were no violations of the Twitter Rules.
