Twitter accounts of prominent people hacked in dastardly attack

Folk like rapper Kanye West, reality TV star Kim Kardashian West, former US President Obama, former US Vice-President Joe Biden, who is the current Democratic presidential candidate and Bill Gates (whoever he is) have had their Twitter accounts compromised.

Seems that it is only the great and the good whose accounts have been hacked.

As soon as I found my Twitter account had issues, I issued a warning to all my followers in the strongest and most urgent of terms. Unfortunately, it was 281 letters long.
