It's always shocking to see a large number of users being hacked on any website, let alone social media ones. That being said, I'm glad Twitter is working alongside the federal government to solve this and prevent this from happening again.

I think the bottom line is nothing is safe on the internet anymore. Given how much we rely on the internet and how much content is put out there, it really is a scary thought that people can keep finding new ways to steal your information.
