I’ve been in the computer field for 25 years. I know my terms.

“Hacked” implies that someone has cracked into your account.

What the Colorado GOP tweet said is that someone simply accessed it without being authorized to do so:

Significant difference. Maybe the GOP chairman’s 14 year old kid typed the Tweet on his dad’s computer when his dad went to the restroom. Or maybe an overeager intern or some newby on their PR team sent it. That could be “unauthorized access,” but not a “hack.”

Regardless, the Colorado GOP ****NEVER**** used the term “hacked” to characterize that stupid tweet.

39 years in IT for me.

...and the timing and content of that tweet is the giveaway.
