Yesterday, Twitter had to witness a huge hack on its platform and popular accounts including Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Elon Musk and others tweeted out a bitcoin scam. Following this massive hack, Twitter has disabled the ability of the many accounts to send tweets.
Twitter’s Massive Hack is Fixed Now
After a while, the ban was lifted and therefore the company announced now most of the users are going to be ready to tweet again. The block on tweets seemed to only verified accounts. Unverified accounts were ready to tweet normally.
We’re continuing to limit the ability to Tweet, reset your password, and some other account functionalities while we look into this. Thanks for your patience.

After some time, the company told me that it is working on fixing the situation so password resets and some other functionalities will not be available. Some of the users were automatically logged out of their accounts when Twitter started limiting tweets.
We are aware of a security incident impacting accounts on Twitter. We are investigating and taking steps to fix it. We will update everyone shortly.
