Can you imagine being one of the two competent people somewhere near the middle or bottom of their security team? You’re working from home, in your underwear still, plate of tendies, hot sauce, scrolling through dot win and all of the sudden you are inundated with like 80 emails from purple hair gender fluid SJWs who make 3x what you make for doing what fucking ever, and bam, your day is shot. Now your resume is shit for like the next two years, too. Poor guys.

Realistically someone screwed up big time they have an unlimited IT budget.

No excuses, if the wrong thing was actually tweeted from some of these accounts people could have died.

Obama, Twitter official accounts, all the other blue checks. We are luck it was for a scam and not to disrupt the country with coordinated slander

Yeah could you imagine them hacking a sitting president or other world leader and tweeting out something about nukes or a war.

It would have been pure chaos.

Or perhaps the scam was just a distraction and the real point was to lift DMs. They did leak the control panel after all.

News report I read, they believe one of these low-level idiots were bought off by the hackers.

I've redacted the BTC wallet in it, but that's it.

Was going to ask if this is a shitpost because there's no BTC wallet info in there until I saw your comment.

Doubt anyone would be this stupid enough to do a transaction but yeah, just to be on the safe side.

Also, good catch!

He'll give you 1000$ in Bitcoin if you just give him 2000$ upfront.

A lot of lefties are going to be suffering from an Attention Deficit Disorder of a different kind tonight.

Don’t put your faith in social media, this is exactly what can happen. There will always be a better hacker there will always be someone that can bust through take all your personal information.

How much do you all want to bet this is the result of all the Tiktok data that was taken from clipboards recently.

More than likely state level hack and blow across the bow from China. This could have been SOOO much worse. Think of the wrong person saying the wrong thing and getting people stoked for war. They are VERY pissed off over the executive order with HK.

Reddit app was also stealing data off clipboards.

Wow! I didn’t know about the support account too. How embarrassing for them! 😂😈

I saw this image too but was unable to confirm its authenticity.

I'm seeing it all in French for the screenshot, no way it's been left up though.

That particular tweet isn't showing up on the account (obviously would have been deleted if it was there), but there's definitely some major security incident going on: https://twitter.com/twittersupport

very thorough hacking indeed.

I wonder if this would allow them access to the devices these accounts are connected to. Imagine How much access a user gives Twitter to their photos, phonebooks, and other stuff. I know this was just a bitcoin scam, but the content on those devices could be worth more..

Wonder how much BTC they'll get.

Looks like over 100k, which they have already taken to transfer elsewhere

Do you think it may be Jack Dorsey on an outstanding bender?

I will bet my left testicle that it wasn’t a hacker did this. It was an inside job. Or, someone who has access to the twitter server and want to have revenge for whatever reason.

I guess joy Reid really was hacked.

Seems they are re-hacking people even if they change passwords.

This is a massive security fuck up and something Ive never seen before. Looks like they can see passwords in real-time.

Setting the stage for a Trump ‘Hack’ maybe.

Oh dear Lord.

With that level of access, it's certainly possible the DMs were siphoned. Whoo doggies!
