Seeing a Twitter account get hacked isn’t outside the norm, but seeing a prominent politician’s account get hacked is.
Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton found out how embarrassing it can be to get hacked on Wednesday.
The hacked tweet was ironically advertising a weight-loss product, considering Stanton was promoting a citywide weight-loss campaign earlier this month.
To Stanton’s credit, he discovered the hack and changed his password within minutes.
