Can a deactivated twitter be hacked?

[Eliiiza]

Well, I had a really good friend over twitter, and I was a bit sad when he decided to deactivate his account...blah blah, long story there. But anyway, what has happend is just on 30 days, his account has reappeared, but it has a different user name, name and an egg as it's icon! It looks like a spam account (you know, the annoying ones that follow you) but it is actually his account, all his tweets (yes, the right dates) and all his photos, it's all there, but everything else it different. I know he would't change his username like that and his name...so I started to think that perhaps the account had been hacked? That he hasn't come back to twitter at all? My other thought was that something like this can happen when your account has been deactivated for a certain amount of time...? I have no idea, but it really looks to me that he has been hacked. I'm just a little confused and wondered what you think may have happened......

Thanks.

Most sites can be reopened so yes a Twitter account
can be hacked,with the correct information
By the way most hacking is done by people we know
like family or friends.
Have a good day
