Their followers are not very smart.

Saying those on the left in power are not very smart while leftist agenda's are mainstream and crushing the soul of this country doesn't make much sense.

Just sending an unclassified email to a subcontractor got the Tech lead, on a project I was on, put on probation and his clearance put up for review. He had to switch jobs because he was never getting promoting after that incident.

By illegally running government classified communications through a private server in her bathroom, she was able to hide unknown levels of corruption and still walks free. I wouldn't call that stupid on her part. Corrupt yes, criminal yes, stupid no. She knew exactly what she was doing.

Wiggleworm 22 points ago +25 / -3

if anything this bullshit right here is the biggest proof that his emails were never hacked by some outside entity, but stolen internally by someone (HIS NAME WAS?) who could bypass security easily.

Podesta is a moron, but when you're in control of the largest, most corrupt presidential campaign in history, you'd think your self aware security would be a little tougher.

But, say you were trying to cover up an inside job that you murdered, you'd come up with some bullshit story about a weak password or spear phishing attempt.

HIS NAME WAS SETH RICH

You’re confusing the podesta and DNC emails. DNC was most likely downloaded internally via Seth Rich. Podesta was most likely hacked through simple methods.

I always assumed most high profile left-wing blue check mark Twatter accounts were run by committee, not the actual people. To think Biden even knows how to tweet, let alone his handlers would let him, is a bit foolish, no?

It's the CCP's foreign subversion and soft power branch. They run the local Tong gangs that control the various Chinatowns, the Confucius Institutes, the Chinese Students and Scholar Association, and a lot more. If there is Chinese influence spreading in your area, the United Front is behind it.

The KGB used to do the same thing for Russia. Over 80% of their budget was dedicated to foreign operations.

_deleted_ 10 points ago +13 / -3

I've been in the technology field for over 25 years. I absolutely know Twitter's impact. However, A) we're not going to run the place because we are censored like you said. so what's the point? Without us it becomes a leftist echo chamber. B) I'm not going to make a literal practicing satanist richer by trying to do so. Any time you don't have to pay for a product, you are the product. C) they sell our data, and this "hack" is more proof they can't be trusted. With all that in mind, why the fuck would I care about "running the place" even if we could? A lot of powerful things could use desertion. That's what takes away their power.

Skywise 15 points ago +15 / -0

Anybody who was stupid enough to put incriminating information into Tweet DMs deserves it.

Maybe that's why they didn't seem to hack Trump's account - because they knew there was nothing there?

(Frankly I'm surprised the media isn't making more of an issue of the fact that Trump's account wasn't "hacked" but Obama and Bidens was which insinuates a political type of attack and that this is further proof of Trump/Russian collusion. Or maybe they're holding onto that for October and they hacked themselves.)

Moebius [S] 5 points ago +5 / -0

We don't actually know Trump's account didn't get hacked but you've made an interesting point...

6
Skywise 6 points ago +6 / -0

Presuming Twitter's statement is correct - the hackers basically got hold of the "master control panel" in Twitter that allows operators total control over accounts and their threads. If that's true they didn't need to hack into Trumps account individually - they could've just commandeered it through the panel with the right user name.

But they didn't. But they did post on Obama's and Biden's account. Hacker? False Flag? Things that make you go hmmmm.....

7
Isolated_Patriot 7 points ago +7 / -0

I am pretty sure a twitter employee hacked Trump's account before, and Twitter at least claimed that they then locked Trump's account out of the master control for any random employee to access. That could mean it was not accessible to the hackers.

4
Skywise 4 points ago +4 / -0

That's interesting - I knew that his account had been hacked before.

it's interesting that they can admin lock those accounts like that from general control and DIDN'T do that for Obama or Bidens... (but maybe Hillary's?)

2
the_archivist 2 points ago +2 / -0

The issue was random employees would have screwed with his account, so it was made off limits to all but the head admins.

Most twitter employees are pro Obama, Hillary, and Biden so there was no point.

Also none of the three hold public office so it wouldn't matter as much.

CMDRConanAAnderson 12 points ago +12 / -0

Is Wikileaks still in "business" business? I remember a while back hearing about Wikileaks being compromised when Julian's killswitch never went off after he first vanished, then was not heard from the embassy in months when they cut his access to internet. If leaks happen, who would be the likely people to publish them? I say this because without the Assange lead Wikileaks we can't 100% trust anything anything posts and may have to wait after they are published to check for document manipulation or editing. There are so many people who want Hussein's DMs, I bet they implicate him in at least protests and likely bill gates.

I strongly suggest each and every one of you take a couple of weeks to educate yourselves on how hacking (infosec), etc work. No online database is truly secure, and every single server that is connected to the internet is in some way accessible to vulnerabilities. The fact that Twitter was hacked is not surprising in the least, and is likely only going to increase twitters popularity.

InfoSec has to be right 100% of the time.

[email protected]$ only need to be right once.

Of course, the weak link is usually people. One successful spear phish and they are inside, and then you're done.

14 year old script kiddies are usually stopped by secure configurations. They are not an APT.

If the company or whatever is important enough, you get targeted attacks from skilled teams, sometimes State sponsored, and you better have your shit buttoned up!

No online database is truly secure, and every single server that is connected to the internet is in some way accessible to vulnerabilities.

That's not true. It's more accurate to say that securing things is very hard, and preventing social engineering (scamming an admin to steal their credentials, which is likely what happened here) is even harder. But it's absolutely not true that some magical hacker can access any system, no matter how it's secured.

The takeaway here is that perfect security is extremely hard and you shouldn't trust truly important information to cloud services. That said, most people have a far-too-high opinion of the value of their own data and importance.

2
ChadManspread 2 points ago +2 / -0

There's no such thing as 100 percent secure, if there was, then the secure thing couldn't be accessed by anyone, including those with legit need. Security can be very robust, but never perfect. If there's even one entry point, which there always is, it's already not secure.

1
nairebis 1 point ago +1 / -0

There's no such thing as 100 percent secure, if there was, then the secure thing couldn't be accessed by anyone, including those with legit need.

You're arguing against a point no one is making. Look at the exact quote I took issue with. OP is pushing the myth of the "magical hacker" that can access any system.

You're more-or-less making a point about social engineering, but even that's possible to make effectively impossible through things like time-based access (only accessible at certain times) or things like multiple required keys held by different people (or even combined approaches). In practice, however, I agree with you that social engineering is typically the real achilles heal of security.

Um, no, that was not the purpose of the hacking. This is much, much, much bigger. The Bitcoin scam was a distraction tactic.

What evidence did Twitter present to prove this? Did they have Crowdstrike investigate?

Now all those rats can say the hackers added DMs about kids and the virus. I don't think this was white hats, I think this was cover up to corrupt evidence of lots of people at once.

Supposing some indictments ACTUALLY are coming down soon...

This could be a DEM tactic to "get ahead of the news". They will leak info/crimes via fake hack DM (guccifer 2.0 redux) and claim the evidence was taken illegally (and therefore nevermind their sick crimes).

Either way I'll be here with tendies

Anybody who thinks this was about 100k in bitcoin is barking up the wrong tree. That was nothing but a troll. Getting the DM's and letting twitter and the US government know that they could do this is the golden Apple they were aiming for. I'm thinking the Chinese.

So Twitter just admitted to having very weak information security controls (few layers), for which, at this day in age there is no excuse. Once the hacker got access to that admin account he/she had almost free reign to navigate around and access to the entire database. The hacker was able to read all messages, send tweets, change primary emails and passwords. It's insane that an admin would have such level of access to the system. I can't see another reason for that other than Twitter doing so deliberately so they can have access, analyze and use your information (DM and other behavior) however they see fit.

The insane thing is people believing Twitter's 'assurances' their DMs are actually private...

...but then again John Podesta was stupid enough to put a luggage password on his DNC e-mail account...
