What on earth?! San Jose Mayor Liccardo's Twitter hacked; becomes 'Sam SneakerHeads' account
Since then, it's been all Sneaker Head images filling the mayor's timeline. Most are retweets from the @sneakerheadsoff Twitter account which has 213,000 followers compared to the mayor's following of more than 36,000.
The hackers have made it so that the Sam SneakerHeads account is the head moderator for SneakerHeadsOff and they include a link you can go to buy the collectible NFTs. The mayor's press office said they are still working to reclaim ownership of Liccardo's Twitter account. We refreshed the mayor's Twitter page after publishing an earlier version of this story. The profile picture and banner image that showed Sneaker Heads had been taken down, but the timeline was still full of spam retweets.
"We are thankful for the swift response by Twitter support and policy teams. Their attentiveness and urgency in this situation is a tremendous help as we work to resolve this," Rachel Davis, the mayor's chief communications and marketing officer said this evening.
