Twitter suffers major security breach

Twitter suffered a major security breach impacting the verified accounts of Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg, Apple and many other high-profile users.

The hackers apparently were able to breach the two-factor authentication of multiple users simultaneously, raising the possibility that Twitter's own systems were compromised. An investigation is underway.
