A Twitter spokesperson confirmed to The Hill the two accounts were hacked, saying they were attacked “through a third-party platform.”

“As soon as we were made aware of the issue, we locked the compromised accounts and are working closely with our partners at Facebook to restore them,” the spokesperson said.

The messages were ultimately removed from Twitter.

“Some of our corporate social accounts were briefly hacked but we have secured and restored access,” a Facebook spokesperson told The Hill.
