Twitter disables tweeting from blue check accounts after failing to get a grip on almost 2 hours of consecutive hacks.

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

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.
