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
