On April 27th at 7:20 AM PDT, a group of hackers made changes to a few publications that are hosted on Medium.com by gaining access to the Twitter account of one of our editorial administrators. We quickly stemmed all unauthorized access to these publications, halted the hack and worked with the publications to revert their sites to their previous state. We are taking active security measures to restrict unauthorized access and prevent this from happening in the future.
