That said, I wish the hacker(s) had some semblance of brains and started tweeting subtle-but-misleading shit, maybe exhorting lefties to do some really dumb things in 'protest' of "Drumpf"... by the end of the week the lefties would all walk around with underwear on their heads and a wooden spoon shoved up their anuses or someshit.
They are such zealots I wouldn’t be surprised if they were to do it for an extended time to prevent Trump from using it leading up to election, and forcing him to rely on msm more.
Let's say there is a democrat and a republican candidate for a given office. The republican candidate has an "objectionbable" tweet removed, but the democrat with a similar tweet does not. Twitter can claim that their servers were compromised by hackers, for who knows how long, and that they weren't intentionally interfering with elections.
Especially since if anybody manages to somehow catch them, they're now looking at thousands of counts of fraud, whereas if they had just trolled the shit out of people for free they would be fucking legends
I’m wondering... perhaps it was a money laundering scheme or similar, and those that actually sent money knew/were in on it. Those that sent aren’t scrutinized as much and can claim they fell for a scheme when really they were paying for some particular... services
That was exactly my thoughts. To send Bitcoin, these "victims" would have to be very knowledgeable in it and technology. And have those thousands in their accounts with easy access. I know people with Bitcoin, besides myself, and we don't have that much money in Bitcoin. If we ever managed to have $1,000, it's for sure we wouldn't send it all in just because a Twitter post said we'd get double back if we sent it in. The "offer" was only for 30 minutes, it said. How did so many people with that much in Bitcoin know to look at these blue checked accounts right at that time these were tweeted, unless it was planned??
Yeah it would be great if more hackers would hit Twitter with scams, then it can gain a reputation as the place where "you can't trust anyone" and then it will fade into obscurity.
There's no way for the hackers to get that money out. If whoever has the key tries to move it out they'll be picked up within the hour , anywhere on earth.
It more like a spoiler sending all the followers of the blue check cult dirty cybercoin into the void.
On a more serious note, they COULD have slid in some real subtle stuff that even their staffers would have a hard time explaining... stuff that would subtly obliterate Lefty unity, or similar. Something akin to Robert Heinlein's explanation of how to best use language and propaganda in the short story If This Goes On...
Almost every high profile case of hacking was a Democrat politician, donor or activist. I wonder if the hacker used information acquired from a DNC or DNC affiliate non-profit server?
Don't trust Minds.com I know somebody that worked for them remotely and they said they defiantly censor content they don't like. I tried to access a few pages I used to follow there via bookmarks just yesterday and they were all deleted.
I don't have a Twitter account. I messaged Brad Parscale about it on Parler maybe a month ago. No response. Maybe some more people could also help suggest it?
who most likely did this? a globohomo, a patriot, or a mercenary from the channery with no favored affiliation.
So far your theory makes the best sense, but somehow I think theres more to it than that. He sniped Joe pretty fuckin hard. If you were trying to aim for GEOTUS, why would you turn Biden into memefodder in the process? That part makes no sense to me.
And many Iranians are Christians. They have to hide it in Iran, but not once they come to the US. In late 1990s I helped out with a small Iranian church in the Los Angeles area. I learned a few words of Farsi during my time there. And was introduced to Salad Olivier (which is great on lavash) and saffron rice made with basmati rice. I still have the recipes and make them...well, the lavash I buy at the store.
One thing that I thought remarkable is that when they said "Jesus" in Farsi, it sounds like "Esau" (Jacob's brother in Old Testament). I asked them if Jesus is pronounced Esau, then what is the Farsi name for Esau? But I never got the answer.
"Three people have been sentenced to death in Iran for participating in protests. Their execution is expected at any moment. The execution of these three people sends a deplorable message to the world and should not be done."
The Arabic one is on purpose if you translated it talks about those protesters in Iran that are being executed by the state. You have to translate it from Persian to English
Anyone who watches his twitter knows he often restates tweets in foreign languages, especially when directed at authoritarian regimes. Idea being repressed people can read it.
I rely on you guys to watch his twitter and post the best ones here, haha.
That's really cool of him. Chalk one up for Trump being actually a really good hearted, well-intentioned person, which the left tries their hardest not to let the world know about.
Some sources are saying a Twitter employee with panel access got hacked and not just the actual accounts. So if that ends to be true, the hackers had access to pretty much all twitter accounts, that such employee had panel access to.
It is maybe possible that what you say is true and that is why Trump´s account didnt get in the group of accounts affected today.
All in all, remains to be seen who will get the blame for the hack, but this puts twitter in a very bad shape.
The hackers could have tweeted something from a prominent CEO or politician and cause a stock market crash, that as an investor scares me a bit. (E.g one time Elon Musk tweeted something the stock price immediatelly fell, the hackers could have replicated this or many other scenarios and that is dangerous.)
totally agreed. I still find it appaling that spez from reddit hasnt faced any legal consecuences after literally editing the_donald´s user comments , then banning or disvowing half of the mod team , and afterwards censoring completely the community by shutting it down.
That's pretty easy, to give the blackmail credibility. I could post that I hacked someone's twitter account and got compromising information. It could even be true and I could post screen shots or the information. They could deny it, I could be faking the screenshots etc. There's no real way to legitimize the secret hacked data unless one of the parties were to corroborate the information.
This way it's is now internationally well known and big news that these accounts were hacked, and it wasn't just some goofy tweet that they could say was an accident or something like that, it's part of a big worldwide scam.
That being said I doubt people use twitter dms for anything illicit anyway and this is probably just some 14 year old Malaysian kid that got a twitter employee's credentials in a phishing scam and figured the best way to make money with it.
The stock market stuff could be more profitable but much more difficult to avoid a paper trail and the hackers probably don't have access to equity markets anyway.
Nearly 100% chance they will say the hack came out of Russia, because almost all hacks are proxied through Russia due to the fact that there are millions and millions of unsecured machines running out of date bootleg copies of Windows 7 or even XP.
90% of hacks are coming out of SE Asia, but 99% of them look like they are coming out of Russia.
They had the goods and wanted to flex their power. Also, they compromised / bribed an employee -- they were on borrowed time by the nature of the hack.
Gonna open up some skeleton closets for those dumb enough to talk secrets in a twitter DM.
Think about all the journalists and their "sources" alone. Those smoothbrains couldn't figure out a VPN and probably consider two-factor auth "nerds fucking things up."
Dumb people about to be put on blast.
And yeah, twitter is fucking over. Fed investigation at a minimum, Dorsey potentially perjured himself. Sell your social media stock lol
I think you are correct. There are already screenshots of the twitter tools they use to "black listing" trends and users:
It came out on the news just a few hours ago. And as you said, it is exposing once again their obvious bias and censorship.
This could be maybe the real goal of the hackers, looks a lot like a show of power.
The power of people in a cohesive environment is astounding. They solved murders, mysteries and found missing people. We shouldn't depend on news and government. It should be labeled a public utility.
Other than being able to easily invite people to events and share photos of your kids/pets
I would not even consider those positives. The first one makes it even easier to scam people, and the second has fueled a the massive and growing pedo problem in the world today.
does anyone remember when twitter first popped up about 10 years ago? CNN was shilling very hard for twitter. I kept wondering why they wanted everyone to tweet!
Shit. Every network was. You couldn't watch news without seeing them jump on the bandwagon. At the time I thought it was a "fellow kids" play at staying relevant.
I thought the Saudis had a stake at one time. The government needs CFIUS oversight on even minority investments in shit like Twitter and Reddit. I understand those platforms are run by baizuo who already hate America, but the last thing they need is an investor in their ear about censorship.
Twitter´s stock all time high is $70.43 , this was shortly after they went public (their IPO), the stock went public for $40 per share (and pre IPO it was bought by private investors for about $26 (for banks, insiders, big investors)
Some time atfter the public IPO the stock went all the way up to its all time high i mentioned, and eventually crashed and went below the $40 mark. It usually hovers this stock at around $28 - $35 most of the time, key price $33.
I told you what you asked for and gave you additional -very current- information. I also mentioned the current prices the stock hoovers around and the key price where it has support.
edit: also the date you mention 2006 is correct when twitter started, but they went public (their Inicial price Offering = IPO) in 2013. That´s also why I mentioned the behaviour of the stock after their IPO.
I remember the stock being hyped a lot during the IPO, but twitter was losing money consistently and that shows in their financial statement. This wasnt that long ago , in terms of stocks. ;)
2 Nigerian brothers from Chicago that are known to carry nooses and attack homosexual men for cash? They should bring in the Awans to clear this mess up!
Have Graham do a public hearing. Get some buzzfeed bombshells. Seems like a nice news cycle that goes no where. Let's do it. Call Soros, Koch, Qatar, S.A., Israel, Iran, EU and run it by them. Update MediaMatters.
Yep this is exactly the kind of shit that goes wrong when a company cares more about diversity and inclusion and affirmative action and sets goals for diverse hiring practices, rather than focusing on the product and making sure the right people are in the right positions to create a quality product shit like this happens somebody fucks up because they don't know what they're doing and the quality suffers. But to the management all that matters is they can Pat themselves on the back that they have a diverse Workforce of different genders and races and religion whatever
I agree with you. I expected to see a warning message when I went to check Twitter after reading the news about this hack but nothing. That on it self is really bad; this hack went for a couple hours they should have put a big red warning on the top of the website to warn people about this huge scam; the victims (the ppl who sent bitcoins after reading the scam messages) are ultimately those paying the price of this, and I wonder what will be Twitter´s response to all this.
Huge scandal.
When Elon's tweet was the only one going around people sent $5 of BTC just to test it according to the blockchain so a lot of people might be fine from this.
The thing with Elon and Kanye is they can be so nutty sometimes I wouldn't be surprised if they actually did it.
they also targetted a prominent youtube called mrbeast who usually gives a lot of money away, so I think most ppl affected were probably mrbeast fans, because of that, it wouldnt seem super weird that he would announce a giveaway; thats what some of his fans in youtube said.
Given the 2 movies on one screen phenomena where both sides see reality differently on every issue, I wonder if this pattern follows.
The left will blame Russia.
The right will blame China.
But the smart money is on Italy. I'm keeping my eye on you, you spaghetti eating fucks.
(Joking about Italy. We all know it's really New Zealand)
He says that if you have the power to hack every major Twitter account, why would you do it just to get ~$50K to ~$100K in Bitcoin? He says someone is sending a message that they can take over our social media and push whatever message they want
I believe he's implying it is China and they could use it create mass hysteria here.
makes sense. we've got military ships catching fire with suppression systems disabled, and military jets crashing. this could be china letting us know that they can get into every single system we think we can control at any time.
this could also be a US psyop to help intiate the ban on Bitcoin.
Stores are running short on change suddenly. combine this with a Bitcoin ban, and suddenly you're one step closer to a cashless society.
Step 2: Tweet from Bezos: "I apologize for any crimes I may have committed while visiting the home of my late friend Jeffrey Epstein. I will be stepping down from Amazon effective immediately."
Come to think, who is to say the same entity didn't have a much larger gambit and the bitcoin scam was just a red herring? Like an assassin stealing a target's wallet to give the appearance of a more meaningless crime.
It's almost like the blue-checks had a master key or something - how could this have happened? Why would they build such a feature - was it to keep them from saying things they shouldnt have?
Im cynical, Im assuming this is just a cover up for mass deletion of ANYTHING pedo related all at once from anyone blue checked.
Anything weird left, ah the hackers wrote about children, yeahhhh the hackers. I'd be gobsmacked if these blue accounts dont come back on with smaller histories.
Except they probably were able to harvest phone #, email address, and other billing info for probably everyone doing this. Anyone that promotes their tweets probably has an issue to worry about.(brands mostly)
The BTC spam was just icing on the cake, the other info was the valueble part.
Tbh these hackers probably are the same people behind that huge bot network that was posting comments faking Elon Musk (same profile pic , same everything) and posting under every Trump tweet for 2 months. I reported this to twitter but they kept allowing it for a long time, now this. It somehow looks connected to me. Same writting in the scam messages, but different MO.
"We are currently scrubbing celebrity accounts of evidence that may assist the FBI in prosecuting sexual predators. We apologize for the inconvenience."
For what?? When Twitter fucks up, why the hell would the Empire wanna fix it? :p
If Twitter wasn't imploding inside its own ass, we'd fire the Death Star at it.
(and no, the Galactic Empire doesn't mind at all that you assumed the gender of the troops--because you're right, they're all male, we wanted to avoid lawsuits over women being oppressed by getting put in circumstances where they could get shot)
Edit: Oh, and by the way? That username? "ROGUE"?? I'll have you know Palpatine is a bit offended by that name, after what happened at Scarif--you might wanna consider changing it. :)
this seems like a massive hack, it looks like a show of power from the hackers. They could have done a lot of bad with this hack., they went for money, but realistically they could have made a stock market crash if they timed this shit properly, bit scary to think about.
I have seen many times every time Elon Musk tweets, below in the comment replies is just a bucnh of bitcoin scams. It was the same scam you could see for months under Trump´stwitter comments, every reply was that Dr whatever and then some bitcoin scammers pretending to be Elon tweeting. I reported it at least 20 times and i saw it happen for over a month,. every single tweet from trump and elon were being targeted. I suspect the people behind that scam are probably related to this one too. The writting of the scam tweets is very similar too.
They also hacked Biden´s account, thats gonna be super embarrassing for all the idiots who actually saw his tweet and send "Biden" bitcoins. Those ppl maybe deserve it for being idiots, who fuck would "send Bitcoins" to Joe Biden and expect the double of your money :D??
weird shit all this hack , i am sure it will be chinese origin.
I wonder how their policy of hiring based on gender and skin color, or bringing in east indians from diploma mills is working out. Expect more of this in every industry that doesn't hire on merit.
That was my thought, too. If they can't shut down his account directly, just take them ALL down under the guise of "hackers." Oh, so sorry, POTUS's account is in there too but what can we do?
Kek.
TOP kek
Couldn't happen to a better platform
Praying that hackers turn twatter into MySpace over the next 3-4 months.
You can almost see the flames from here.
That said, I wish the hacker(s) had some semblance of brains and started tweeting subtle-but-misleading shit, maybe exhorting lefties to do some really dumb things in 'protest' of "Drumpf"... by the end of the week the lefties would all walk around with underwear on their heads and a wooden spoon shoved up their anuses or someshit.
It could be an internal cover up job as well. They could blame "hacks" for tweets that they didn't act on before.
We're they hacked or did a diversity hire give the controls up? Has anyone verified they were hacked besides Twitter?
all
1779 intelligence agencies.It's Chrissy Teigen's fault.
What're the chances they just scorched-earth'ed all the checkmarks just to stop Trump from tweeting something really important today?
They are such zealots I wouldn’t be surprised if they were to do it for an extended time to prevent Trump from using it leading up to election, and forcing him to rely on msm more.
He has the national announcement thing if it’s REALLY important.
Very high
Seems like a golden opportunity for Trump to announce he’s using Parler or Gab going forward since Twitter can’t get their shit together.
what do you mean exactly? im not getting it...
I didn't post that pro-pedo shit, I was "hacked".
There are lots of scenarios.
Let's say there is a democrat and a republican candidate for a given office. The republican candidate has an "objectionbable" tweet removed, but the democrat with a similar tweet does not. Twitter can claim that their servers were compromised by hackers, for who knows how long, and that they weren't intentionally interfering with elections.
This 100%
Every globalist or celeb who tweeted out a pedo # or dressed their kids up as pizza etc will use muh Russian hackers as an excuse
Especially since if anybody manages to somehow catch them, they're now looking at thousands of counts of fraud, whereas if they had just trolled the shit out of people for free they would be fucking legends
They made 100k. Mind you, robbing a bank at gunpoint might get you more money for less heat.
I’m wondering... perhaps it was a money laundering scheme or similar, and those that actually sent money knew/were in on it. Those that sent aren’t scrutinized as much and can claim they fell for a scheme when really they were paying for some particular... services
Why would you need a scheme this complex to launder bitcoin?
You can just wash it by splitting it up and trading it between multiple currencies before spending.
That was exactly my thoughts. To send Bitcoin, these "victims" would have to be very knowledgeable in it and technology. And have those thousands in their accounts with easy access. I know people with Bitcoin, besides myself, and we don't have that much money in Bitcoin. If we ever managed to have $1,000, it's for sure we wouldn't send it all in just because a Twitter post said we'd get double back if we sent it in. The "offer" was only for 30 minutes, it said. How did so many people with that much in Bitcoin know to look at these blue checked accounts right at that time these were tweeted, unless it was planned??
Like Wayfair industrial baby nursery decorations
What is Monero?
Yeah. That would be pretty epic.
Yeah it would be great if more hackers would hit Twitter with scams, then it can gain a reputation as the place where "you can't trust anyone" and then it will fade into obscurity.
Idk man, how many people do you think fell for this?
Even if we assume its only really stupid ones they probably made a fair bit of money.
373 so far.
They have made about $120k
You can check right here.

There's no way for the hackers to get that money out. If whoever has the key tries to move it out they'll be picked up within the hour , anywhere on earth.
It more like a spoiler sending all the followers of the blue check cult dirty cybercoin into the void.
Oh, so just one more of their standard parades.
Like they’re not already doing such
That's a normal Friday night for those idiots...
Dude! Pass the joint! I want some of that shit! 🤣🤣🤣
True - I was shooting for the funnies.
On a more serious note, they COULD have slid in some real subtle stuff that even their staffers would have a hard time explaining... stuff that would subtly obliterate Lefty unity, or similar. Something akin to Robert Heinlein's explanation of how to best use language and propaganda in the short story If This Goes On...
Oh I got the point and that's what makes it's so funny!
And who's to say they haven't or won't jack other people more subtly?
First thought though was this is legal defense for the upcoming legal troubles many in DC are facing. (But I'm a dreamer)
Gotta a new story to read. Thanks.
I have far more respect for Tom than I do Jack.
Tom just wanted to be everyone's friend... Who doesn't want lots of friends?
You can only piss off so many people so many times.
I, too, would like to see Twitter become a Justin Timberlake owned music sharing website.
Hell yea! Let twitter burn

SHADILAY
Almost every high profile case of hacking was a Democrat politician, donor or activist. I wonder if the hacker used information acquired from a DNC or DNC affiliate non-profit server?
This is gonna be so embarrassing for Twitter. I hope Trump makes fun of them for it.
I hope Trump leaves their publishing ass
I wish he’d post to one of the twitter alternatives in addition to his Twitter account.
He should just post on Parler/Gab/whatever the hell he wants and delay crossposts by 1 hour.
It would support freedom of speech competition while still maintaining the reach of Twitter.
It's a WIN/WIN.
Dude tweet that shit at Don Jr or someone. That is brilliant. Would start siphoning people off.
Don't trust Minds.com I know somebody that worked for them remotely and they said they defiantly censor content they don't like. I tried to access a few pages I used to follow there via bookmarks just yesterday and they were all deleted.
I don't have a Twitter account. I messaged Brad Parscale about it on Parler maybe a month ago. No response. Maybe some more people could also help suggest it?
This deserves its own post
Parler is a conservative honeypot. Why do they require photo ID?
Fantastic idea.
Like thedonald.win ?
If we got micro blogging I'd be so happy🤗
If he started using another platform, the network traffic would paralyze them.
Do you think maybe the problem was when they put a xir with a gender studies degree in charge of cyber security (joke... maybe)
4chan thinks so. They think wokecode written by diversity hires allowed hackers access to Twitter's servers.
Your username just had me belly laughing. Thank you.
Damn right it did. This is what happens when you stop merit hiring and send all your coding to third world countries.
You mean the indian guy they hired from the indian scam call center wasn't above board? say it isn't so!
Remember the Equifax breach a few years back? Their security chief had a music degree.
I'm a crappy musician. Maybe I should start applying for CTO roles.
I know, that was the joke I was implying. I just don’t know if it is true in this case.
This is the angle I'm feeling most. Who cares about Elon Musk tweets? The entire platform revolves around GEOTUS tweets.
These soy cucks are raping their own platform just to temporarily inconvenience Trump? Kek big brain move
Why not? They've been destroying their own cities over the death of some drug addict home invader.
1D checkers
Tru.
Then why leave his or any other high profile conservative's tweets alone?
IDK I'm completely confused by the whole situation now.
everybody is in the same boat, it's all speculation
anything from Chyna, to Trump, to BTC scam, to shorting TWTR, to DM blackmail, to kids playing
who most likely did this? a globohomo, a patriot, or a mercenary from the channery with no favored affiliation.
So far your theory makes the best sense, but somehow I think theres more to it than that. He sniped Joe pretty fuckin hard. If you were trying to aim for GEOTUS, why would you turn Biden into memefodder in the process? That part makes no sense to me.
OMG WHAT IF IT WAS TEAM JOE...?!
Wait wait wait...Do they walk into a bar?
WELP. if they do, only two are walking out.
Bernie bros hate Biden too
So you could blame it on Trump. Sort of like breaking into thr DNC, but their twitter account instead.
For Twitter? The list of embarrassing fucking hacks for the political establishment is so rich it hurts!!!!!!
I was talking about Hillary’s server hacked/DNC hack (leak)/Podesta hack/twitter account hacks...
But I like your interpretation better 😂😂😂😂😂
I wish the hackers hacked Trump's account to say: Trump 2020
You mean everyone but Trump was open to being Spezzed at any moment and the moment just happens to be here?
EDIT: OH NOPE THEY GOT TRUMP TOO
EDIT EDIT: Oh no wait, maybe he posted in arabic on purpose.
Arabic was on purpose. He's talking about the 3 people they executed for opposing the Iranian government.
Farsi.
Yeah, that's what he said
Can confirm, on both fronts.
Yet he was blind, which left me confused.
Yes, you see arabic sounds more like "muhumma saleen mahadishu habab! kaseem kaseem aliba hafir! Yahaz ali nebbeb akbar mahaz di yahaleen"
whereas farsi sounds like, "maha yek shaha hoda karifa. shalom nafar yazda mor nefu kareemi. Yahalez haffez char fahali sammem mireet mor hobam."
Just to clarify.
durka durka mohammed jihad
Ah, I see you are fluent.
Ali abubu abubois hossein khafar habib-habib kekistan.
What does Chinese sound like compared to Swahili?
And many Iranians are Christians. They have to hide it in Iran, but not once they come to the US. In late 1990s I helped out with a small Iranian church in the Los Angeles area. I learned a few words of Farsi during my time there. And was introduced to Salad Olivier (which is great on lavash) and saffron rice made with basmati rice. I still have the recipes and make them...well, the lavash I buy at the store.

"Three people have been sentenced to death in Iran for participating in protests. Their execution is expected at any moment. The execution of these three people sends a deplorable message to the world and should not be done."
Obligatory fuck Iran's government.
The Arabic one is on purpose if you translated it talks about those protesters in Iran that are being executed by the state. You have to translate it from Persian to English

That's really cool of him. Chalk one up for Trump being actually a really good hearted, well-intentioned person, which the left tries their hardest not to let the world know about.
I am on Twitter solely for Trump. I have never made a single post nor a single comment. His account is simply gold.
Repressed people should learn English damn it.
Spezzed. Lol, I wonder how many tweets are edited. Can't believe I never thought of it happening.
Some sources are saying a Twitter employee with panel access got hacked and not just the actual accounts. So if that ends to be true, the hackers had access to pretty much all twitter accounts, that such employee had panel access to.
It is maybe possible that what you say is true and that is why Trump´s account didnt get in the group of accounts affected today.

They got allllllll the DMs.
Bitcoin shit was a distraction, red herring.
The blackmail is the real value. We're gonna see some DARK shit soon.
Why would they call attention to the hack with the bitcoin scam then? It would be better to not alert Twitter at all that they were hacked.
That's pretty easy, to give the blackmail credibility. I could post that I hacked someone's twitter account and got compromising information. It could even be true and I could post screen shots or the information. They could deny it, I could be faking the screenshots etc. There's no real way to legitimize the secret hacked data unless one of the parties were to corroborate the information.

Wait please flesh this out a bit. Does this help us? Hurt Twitter?
Who's "us" ?
Gonna open up some skeleton closets for those dumb enough to talk secrets in a twitter DM.

Never got into Twitter much. Good riddance!

Short TWTR (not unusual atm)
Execute pwnage

Agree. H1b1 Nigerian employees.
Or Twitter was hacked and the same shit that keeps the rouge employees out of Trump's account kept the hackers out too.
*Rogue
(Rouge means ‘red’)
And "rouge" was the pre-1970s word for makeup "blush" too. My mom wore rouge but when I was a teen I started wearing blush.
Rouge is the color of commies!
That's what you get when you virtue signal diversity hire H1B1's from scam indian call centers.
It's what happens when their executives visit child porn sites
Hahaha, some malware crept in.
What if hackers posted porn videos from those hacked videos? Might be a fun moment? :D
Twitter is mankind's worst invention.
Social media was absolutely amazing in the beginning. The threat it created caused it to be taken over and turned into a toxic hell hole.
It deserves attention. A great book and documentary of the stories. Very powerful and it could help everyone understand that change is needed.
More likely that everyone was suckered in, and then when they had critical mass on a site the owners were able to enact their evil plans.
The power of people in a cohesive environment is astounding. They solved murders, mysteries and found missing people. We shouldn't depend on news and government. It should be labeled a public utility.
The original social networking was good. But that ended with myspace. Social media is propaganda.
Social Media.
Just one man. Jack Dorsey.
Social media overall has been a net negative to society.
Other than being able to easily invite people to events and share photos of your kids/pets, it brings out the absolute worst in humanity.
I would not even consider those positives. The first one makes it even easier to scam people, and the second has fueled a the massive and growing pedo problem in the world today.
Big facts
BUY $TWIT PUTS NAOW
I TRIED! Missed it by 10 minutes...that stock will be so low tommorow from after hours trading there will be minimal value with puts!
I’ve got a September 31.50 that was killed today but am excited to see what tomorrow brings. Put this shit to $10
Id fucking love that. Unfortunately, I don’t have any to sell cause fuck Twitter.
I will yolo a put with you in solidarity. What date you targeting?
I thought they were losing money every quarter? Or was that another bullshit social media site?
does anyone remember when twitter first popped up about 10 years ago? CNN was shilling very hard for twitter. I kept wondering why they wanted everyone to tweet!
Shit. Every network was. You couldn't watch news without seeing them jump on the bandwagon. At the time I thought it was a "fellow kids" play at staying relevant.
I thought the Saudis had a stake at one time. The government needs CFIUS oversight on even minority investments in shit like Twitter and Reddit. I understand those platforms are run by baizuo who already hate America, but the last thing they need is an investor in their ear about censorship.
You mean Dopey prince Alwaleed Talal?
Twitter's stock price is down after its fourth-largest investor was arrested in a Saudi Arabian anti-corruption sweep - 9/6/2017
LOL
It's not good to hold, but good to trade because it oscillates predictively
A lot of dark money made with stealth marketing.
YOURE HIRED!!!
I think they started breaking even a few years back. But yea.. Built entirely without profit.
Investor here (Not in twitter)
Twitter´s stock all time high is $70.43 , this was shortly after they went public (their IPO), the stock went public for $40 per share (and pre IPO it was bought by private investors for about $26 (for banks, insiders, big investors)
Some time atfter the public IPO the stock went all the way up to its all time high i mentioned, and eventually crashed and went below the $40 mark. It usually hovers this stock at around $28 - $35 most of the time, key price $33.
hope that answers your question<
I told you what you asked for and gave you additional -very current- information. I also mentioned the current prices the stock hoovers around and the key price where it has support.
edit: also the date you mention 2006 is correct when twitter started, but they went public (their Inicial price Offering = IPO) in 2013. That´s also why I mentioned the behaviour of the stock after their IPO.
I remember the stock being hyped a lot during the IPO, but twitter was losing money consistently and that shows in their financial statement. This wasnt that long ago , in terms of stocks. ;)
Bet they'll be lucky to see 40 cents a share after word gets out...
Yup, Twitter stock goes plop plop

From a security incident response perspective, a company of this size is handling this so poorly.
Maybe less time investing on diversity and agenda pushing, and more focus on security.
They hired Nigerian employees who set this up.
2 Nigerian brothers from Chicago that are known to carry nooses and attack homosexual men for cash? They should bring in the Awans to clear this mess up!
Have Graham do a public hearing. Get some buzzfeed bombshells. Seems like a nice news cycle that goes no where. Let's do it. Call Soros, Koch, Qatar, S.A., Israel, Iran, EU and run it by them. Update MediaMatters.
DEES EES MAHGAH CONTREE!
Yep this is exactly the kind of shit that goes wrong when a company cares more about diversity and inclusion and affirmative action and sets goals for diverse hiring practices, rather than focusing on the product and making sure the right people are in the right positions to create a quality product shit like this happens somebody fucks up because they don't know what they're doing and the quality suffers. But to the management all that matters is they can Pat themselves on the back that they have a diverse Workforce of different genders and races and religion whatever
Like building a wall? Firewall?
I agree with you. I expected to see a warning message when I went to check Twitter after reading the news about this hack but nothing. That on it self is really bad; this hack went for a couple hours they should have put a big red warning on the top of the website to warn people about this huge scam; the victims (the ppl who sent bitcoins after reading the scam messages) are ultimately those paying the price of this, and I wonder what will be Twitter´s response to all this.
Huge scandal.
When Elon's tweet was the only one going around people sent $5 of BTC just to test it according to the blockchain so a lot of people might be fine from this.
The thing with Elon and Kanye is they can be so nutty sometimes I wouldn't be surprised if they actually did it.
they also targetted a prominent youtube called mrbeast who usually gives a lot of money away, so I think most ppl affected were probably mrbeast fans, because of that, it wouldnt seem super weird that he would announce a giveaway; thats what some of his fans in youtube said.
Nearly 13 BTC has been paid into it so far ($130k)
These are the people who are against walls, borders and police, remember?
4chanis now running off with its cash.
More like China is.
4China?
Definately China.
Before or after writing a ginormous fat check to various GOP-led charities and causes? That would be crazy funny shit.
$100 days they blame Russia
It was done by Twitter employees.
Twitter H-1Bs who oops are actually foreign agents.
US tax benefits foreign staff. We need quotas.
I like this idea. I wonder how much money they made off with?
30k ish.
The wallet posted on Elon's account alone made more than $50k in about 30 minutes. Far more than 30k.
it's at $130k now
100 bucks says they won't blame China.
Given the 2 movies on one screen phenomena where both sides see reality differently on every issue, I wonder if this pattern follows. The left will blame Russia. The right will blame China. But the smart money is on Italy. I'm keeping my eye on you, you spaghetti eating fucks. (Joking about Italy. We all know it's really New Zealand)
Make it permanent.
Trump is a blue checkmark though...
GEOTUS doesn't need twitter. He will be heard on whichever platform he chooses.
I agree. That's why I want him to LEAVE!
Honestly would be doing humanity a favor if they take down Twitter.
Twitter physical server locations are publicly available info...
Who’s doing the hacking?
That's the million dollar question. Who is trying to send this message?
Maybe a 400 lb hacker?
400-chan hacker?
400 chin hacker
Sounds like I need to get some curtains and a dog.
My money on dis dude. Come through big homie!
Stop making me so excited
He says that if you have the power to hack every major Twitter account, why would you do it just to get ~$50K to ~$100K in Bitcoin? He says someone is sending a message that they can take over our social media and push whatever message they want
I believe he's implying it is China and they could use it create mass hysteria here.
Did he mention anything about yesterday´s WhatsApp massive issue? Could have been connected my mind tells me :D?
makes sense. we've got military ships catching fire with suppression systems disabled, and military jets crashing. this could be china letting us know that they can get into every single system we think we can control at any time.
this could also be a US psyop to help intiate the ban on Bitcoin.
Stores are running short on change suddenly. combine this with a Bitcoin ban, and suddenly you're one step closer to a cashless society.
cashless society is an end goal for soooo many evil fucks out there.
kan i haz links?
Awesome. i disagree with his take, but this whole things got everybody thinkin with their foil on now, so can't blame him for having a theory.
link plz?
ty
Cernabitch is a drama queen.
Why do I have this feeling Maxwell is about to "commit suicide".
How to make a quick $100M.
Step 1: Buy LOTS of Puts on AMZN.
Step 2: Tweet from Bezos: "I apologize for any crimes I may have committed while visiting the home of my late friend Jeffrey Epstein. I will be stepping down from Amazon effective immediately."
"... stepping down from Amazon effective immediately and living the remainder of my life as a gay xir of color."
See now that's smart thinking. This Twitter hack is getting 50k of bitcoin lmao
Come to think, who is to say the same entity didn't have a much larger gambit and the bitcoin scam was just a red herring? Like an assassin stealing a target's wallet to give the appearance of a more meaningless crime.
This guy only made 100kmso far. So dumb.
It's almost like the blue-checks had a master key or something - how could this have happened? Why would they build such a feature - was it to keep them from saying things they shouldnt have?
😱you said MASTER! THATS RACIST! YOU WANNA GET SHOT BY BLM?!

I like how at the same time they are pushing a book called "white fragility" they can't even stand some words existing
This on top of the Mayfair thing makes me think maybe the white hats are taking the gloves off. But that is pure speculation.
I also recall news of some celeb who I never heard of deleting a massive amount of tweets yesterday - great timing
this person https://twitter.com/theangiestanton/status/1283383108373483520
The transactions of bitcoin that are going to the address that was tweeted out. So many lefty retards just got fucked out of TONS of money!
Click the USD icon. $ received is how much that wallet has received from idiots. So far it's at about $118k.
What does this mean?
Some, I am sure, are agencies looking to trace the receiver.
Was the Biden tweet with doubling the bitcoin actually one the hacker sent out? Hysterical.
They hit Elon, Bill Gates, Bezos, 0bama, HW Bush, Biden just from the high profile politicians/ biz owners I’ve seen.
Im cynical, Im assuming this is just a cover up for mass deletion of ANYTHING pedo related all at once from anyone blue checked. Anything weird left, ah the hackers wrote about children, yeahhhh the hackers. I'd be gobsmacked if these blue accounts dont come back on with smaller histories.
Yeah, in simplest terms that’s the only way to “clean up” an endless stream of data so the databases don’t replicate deletions
Very clearly this is what is happening. Plausible deniability.
Also, could be an easy way to launder money under the guise of being fooled by a spammy tweet.
Adam Schiff will use this as claim that Trump hacked twitter of his enemies
The IQ of the world instantly increased.
Trump should be exempt from the lock so he can tweet storm with no bots, Krassenfags or blue check losers to spam reply
Thank you based conservative hackers!
Fighting the good fight.
Except they probably were able to harvest phone #, email address, and other billing info for probably everyone doing this. Anyone that promotes their tweets probably has an issue to worry about.(brands mostly)
The BTC spam was just icing on the cake, the other info was the valueble part.
Tbh these hackers probably are the same people behind that huge bot network that was posting comments faking Elon Musk (same profile pic , same everything) and posting under every Trump tweet for 2 months. I reported this to twitter but they kept allowing it for a long time, now this. It somehow looks connected to me. Same writting in the scam messages, but different MO.
This my friends is called the TRUMP CURSE.
Twitter complained about h1b1 Visa freeze. Well this was no hack and was most likely done by an H1B1 employee on a Visa.
Please let it be a Nigerian Twitter employee.
Did they get James Woods?
Naw, they all fell for the "Please enter you username and password." email that was in their junk folder.
Just like Podesta.
Yeah they communicate via spam in junk mail. Remember with Podesta Wet Works?
THE BLUE CHECKS ARE NO MORE, THE PEOPLE HAVE CONTROL OF TWITTER NOW
Facts.
Distraction. Keep your eye on the ball.
Explain
Pedo gate.
Maby Twitter is down to get rid of all celebrities child sacrifice tweet's
"We are currently scrubbing celebrity accounts of evidence that may assist the FBI in prosecuting sexual predators. We apologize for the inconvenience."
library of congress. . .
Biden's Twitter account hacked in wide-ranging 'security incident' that targeted Obama, Gates, others.What is 4 chan?

Finally libturds get a taste of deplatforming.
I think we all know the master mind behind this....
Barron.
👌
Finally an upgrade for Blue Checkmarks.
Kek
conspiracy theory: This is all to stop The Donald from communicating with his people
This isn't that farfetched at all, makes sense.
This feels like a Coordinated attack against POTUS. They will blame a deranged Trump Supporter
Bingo
Same chorus no matter the facts
Ignore the shills - it’s what they do
H1B1 Visas for Nigerian Employees.
well played Baron Trump
Let the motherfucker burn
Fire Water Burn
Noooooo where are the libbies going to get their news and be told what to think?!? Where will Acosta share his Dear Diary entries?!?
This "hack" is so twitter can shut down the pedo accounts and purge them so no more Christie Turlington exposure happens to them. Change my mind.
Don't shoot let em burn
Nice. A bunch of second-rate hacks got hacked!
General Veers, prepare your men!
For what?? When Twitter fucks up, why the hell would the Empire wanna fix it? :p
If Twitter wasn't imploding inside its own ass, we'd fire the Death Star at it.
(and no, the Galactic Empire doesn't mind at all that you assumed the gender of the troops--because you're right, they're all male, we wanted to avoid lawsuits over women being oppressed by getting put in circumstances where they could get shot)
Edit: Oh, and by the way? That username? "ROGUE"?? I'll have you know Palpatine is a bit offended by that name, after what happened at Scarif--you might wanna consider changing it. :)
And for two hours there was clarity as the woke intersectional marxist cloud that left a toxic fog on everything it touched began to lift.
this seems like a massive hack, it looks like a show of power from the hackers. They could have done a lot of bad with this hack., they went for money, but realistically they could have made a stock market crash if they timed this shit properly, bit scary to think about.
I have seen many times every time Elon Musk tweets, below in the comment replies is just a bucnh of bitcoin scams. It was the same scam you could see for months under Trump´stwitter comments, every reply was that Dr whatever and then some bitcoin scammers pretending to be Elon tweeting. I reported it at least 20 times and i saw it happen for over a month,. every single tweet from trump and elon were being targeted. I suspect the people behind that scam are probably related to this one too. The writting of the scam tweets is very similar too.
They also hacked Biden´s account, thats gonna be super embarrassing for all the idiots who actually saw his tweet and send "Biden" bitcoins. Those ppl maybe deserve it for being idiots, who fuck would "send Bitcoins" to Joe Biden and expect the double of your money :D??
weird shit all this hack , i am sure it will be chinese origin.
Don’t worry folks, they’re just mass cleaning accounts like Chrissy Teigen of all the pedo shit they post. Nothing to see here.
her account is now suspended.
You mean ‘suspended’.
I'm sure they're deep cleaning.
This is the first thing I checked. Did they go after Trump? No. Then they'll blame Trump for it easy.
CAN POTUS TWEET AT ALL?
I dont think so
There's your marker, let's see how long it lasts.
I wonder how their policy of hiring based on gender and skin color, or bringing in east indians from diploma mills is working out. Expect more of this in every industry that doesn't hire on merit.
That was my thought, too. If they can't shut down his account directly, just take them ALL down under the guise of "hackers." Oh, so sorry, POTUS's account is in there too but what can we do?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
breathes
....HAHAHAHA
