Yesterday, Twitter saw its most brazen hack ever, in which one or more hackers were able to access the accounts of some of the most prominent people and companies on Twitter in an effort to scam followers out of bitcoin. Among them were Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Apple, and Uber, to name just a few.

So far, it’s unclear whether the culprits were able to access any particularly sensitive information; Twitter has not yet confirmed whether hackers were able to read user’s DMs. Even if they weren’t, the fact that they were able to pose as some of the most famous people and companies in the world — including a former president and a potential future one — sent a chilling message. It’s a matter of national security, so today the FBI confirmed it is investigating the incident.
