Twitter turns off tweeting via SMS following Jack Dorsey hack

When Jack Dorsey gets hacked, Twitter pays attention. 

Following last week's compromise of the Twitter CEO's account, the company announced a major change in the name of securing the platform. Specifically, users are no longer able to tweet via SMS. 

The company announced the change in a Wednesday afternoon tweet, noting that, at least for now, the change is temporary. 

"We’re temporarily turning off the ability to Tweet via SMS, or text message, to protect people’s accounts," reads the tweet in question.
