Twitter founder Jack Dorsey
- Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's account (@jack) was hacked on Friday afternoon, Twitter's official communications account confirmed at 4:05 PM EST.
- A group that identified itself as the "Chuckling Squad," the same hackers that have targeted famous YouTubers, including James Charles and Shane Dawson, says it acquired access to Dorsey's account.
- The hackers tweeted out racial and anti-Semitic slurs and more than a dozen tweets and retweets over a 20-minute period before Twitter responded.
- At 5:22 PM EST, Twitter's communications team said that Dorsey's account had been "secured," and that "there is no indication that Twitter's systems have been compromised."
- Here's what we know about the hack so far.
