I thought this was the vector, seems like a single administrator account was compromised.
It's also funny to me that normies would be shocked that the higher level administrators would have that ability to post as anyone, sure they have as well as read DMs etc.
Twitter and almost all platforms like that are just web frontends to databases, the backend tools are just interfaces to the same databases but with many more rights to the entire database. If only normies really understood this and how stupidly trusting they are of these companies.
Well, the nature of the attack made sense. If it was a password breach we probably would have seen "normie" accounts hit as well. But whoever did this was going after high-profile accounts. Also fascinating that this was the same day the info on Twitter's internal UI got out.
