Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and the platform’s support have finally spoken on the hack of some of the world leaders and rich men like Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Joe Biden.

The cyberattack which happened on Wednesday, July 15, gained access into their accounts to ask their millions of followers for Bitcoin donations with the promise of doubling any given amount.

Jack on Thursday, July 16, said that Twitter feels terrible that the hack happened, adding that the company’s teammates are working hard to understand what happened.

Minutes after that tweet, the platform’s CEO quoted what support said about the whole issue. Under the said tweet, Twitter support called what happened “a coordinated social engineering attack”.

It said the hack was carried out on some of its employees “with access to internal systems and tools”. After gaining control of the access, it was then used to target some high profile accounts.

The support said that though it is yet to establish the fact that some other verified accounts were attacked, it has limited their functions in the bid to protect them.

It added that it put affected accounts under lock as well as “limit access to internal system and tools” as investigations continue.

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a staunch fan and supporter of actress and entrepreneur, Fella Makafui, caused a stir on social media with a tattoo of the actress on his back, but it appeared to look like another actress.

The photo, which was sighted by YEN.com.gh on Instagram, had the tattoo of Fella at the back of the fan and it was joined in a collage with a photograph of Fella Makafui.

Looking critically at the tattoo, one can say it looked more like fellow actress, Lydia Forson, than the replica of Fella that the fan intended to create.
