ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - St. Louis native and the inventor of Twitter, @Jack,  had his personal account "compromised." 

Although Jack Dorsey's team took immediate action to delete the inappropriate tweets, twitter users everywhere are shocked by the racist and anti-semitic nature of the posts.

KMOX screenshot some of the tweets before they were deleted. 

One of the tweets called for Twitter users to follow an account "@taytaylov3r" and another tweet was just the N-word

When the owner of @Twitter had his account hacked. How safe are we the common tweeters? #JackHack

The @jack hack (on his own platform) is a perfect symbol for this era of information warfare everywhere
