Hackers take over prominent Twitter accounts in simultaneous attack

Can you clarify your edit? All I see is this tweet (https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/status/128351803844522393...) which reads

We are aware of a security incident impacting accounts on Twitter. We are investigating and taking steps to fix it. We will update everyone shortly.

Are you implying that this was tweeted by the attackers? or something else?

I edited my comment, but basically I saw tweets that showed a screenshot of the scam tweet from the twitter support account. Not sure if it’s real since they delete the scam tweets.
