Zendesk chief’s Twitter account hacked


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.

Mikkel Svane’s hijacked account had its ID image changed to that of a cartoon.
It follows similar attacks against accounts owned by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, musicians Keith Richards, Katy Perry and Bon Iver and the model Kylie Jenner. All occurred over the last fortnight.
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.”
