Zendesk chief’s Twitter account hacked

The chief executive of tech support firm Zendesk has become the latest high-profile figure to have his Twitter account hacked.

Zendesk has not commented.

“We recommend people use a unique, strong password for Twitter. We detail other steps people can take to keep their accounts secure on our help centre.”
