#DigiBlogChat April 23, 2024 Brainstorm Ways to Reinstate Terri Nakamura’s Twitter Account! | Image by NoName_13 from Pixabay
The Cybercrime
As some of you already know, Terri Nakamura’s Twitter/X account was hacked in March. For over a month now, she has been trying to get her account reinstated. She has been using her backup account, @Terrinaka, to communicate with customer service and her friends and colleagues about the hack. Her main account, @TerriNakamura, is the one that was hacked.
Many of us have reported the hacker to Twitter/X, with no results so far. April 23rd’s #DigiBlogChat will be to brainstorm other ways that we might draw attention to Terri’s plight. Please, if you have other ideas, let us know so that we can use those! This is something that could happen to any of us.
For every tweet, let’s tag @ElonMusk and use the hashtags #Cybersecurity and #TwitterHack. What other accounts and hashtags can we use? #digiblogchat
