Washington: The accounts of a number of top politicians and businessmen on #Twitter, including the account of # Joe Biden, former US Vice President and #Mike_Bloomberg, and the famous American rapper # KanyeWest appeared to have been hacked today, Wednesday.






 Other famous accounts, including the official accounts of billionaires # Bill_Gates and Elon_Mask and the # Apple and Uber accounts, were also compromised, as the accounts requested contributions via the digital currency # Bitcoin.



 And those tweets were quickly deleted from the accounts.

Twitter said in an email that it was looking into it and would issue a statement soon.
