Technically Twitter wasn't hacked, his machine was compromised and his session cookies were stolen. This allows the hacker to bypass two factor authentication. Because Hive works by broadcasting transactions that have to be signed, there is no "session" key to steal.
I believe some front ends will save the posting key in the local browser cache, but none of them should be saving the active key.
You think #hive can be hacked

Next thing you know we will see a post about sending him 1 ETH and he will send 2 ETH back because he's a nice guy.
How's this?
Hope no one out there would fall for that tweet.
Unfortunately, at least someone did. $ 691 K worth of ETH taken.
Oh geez. Just goes to show that some people easily fall for things without having second thoughts whether it is legit or not.
