While people have found the humour in this situation too, there is also a rising concern that if the founder and CEO itself can get hacked on his own platform then is anyone really safe on the social media platform? Some others on Twitter also advised changing their passwords. Now Jack Dorsey's account is recovered, but the issue makes one seriously wonder if your social accounts are really safe after all?
