Anthony Noto, Twitter’s chief financial officer, got a first-hand feel for the pain a hacker inflicts after discovering someone was tweeting out spam from his account.
“OMG when did you do this,” one tweet read, the New York Post reported.
“This pic of you is funny lol,” another stated.
Twitter spokesman Jim Prosser confirmed the account was hacked for a brief time.
“His account was sending spam tweets,” Mr. Prosser said, the New York Post reported. “We’ve locked the account down and deleted the tweets. There’s no indication any account information was accessed.”
