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.
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.
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?
Haha. It's probably my safe search settings...Though it gives results for other search strings. "The fappening" returns nothing. "What is the fappening" returns results.
These are the same people that handed a dementia patient a list of approved reporters to allow questions and were gobsmacked the plan went tits up when he announced the list out loud.
Probably no DM’s about treason or child trafficking but I bet there’s a ton of mockingbird talking heads sending DM’s coordinating “orange man bad” Talking points and how they know trump did nothing wrong
that's true, they did. But we can wrangle a few of the idiots they keep on the periphery of their circle, i bet. Look how dumb Chrissy is, it took her this long to delet. She should have delet'ed the second we found the "skinny pedos drink pedo lyte" tweet. That was well over a year ago.
There are at least a few imo, who prolly thought that since it was Jack's operation that they therefore must be safe, because jack is up to his eyeballs in babyblood.
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.
if it was in the public interest they would have never announced it with a scam.... they would have just quietly kept access while they logged everything....
He had a twitter account with pol memes and despite having admin access didn't touch trump. You know what that means right? A trump supporting pol user now has bidens DMs. It's fucking OVER.
If the majority of vegans just shut up and kept their choices to themselves I don't think anyone would care and just think they're people with some anger issues. But as the saying goes, "how do you know someone is a vegan?"
Exactly. I have 27K followers on Twitter, just being normal MAGA, with funny memes. If I wasn't "anonymous" I'd be done. Nothing bad just maga.. that's all they need
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.
I use mine everyday for one purpose. It’s a direct communications line from President Trump to me. Whatever he’s thinking, he lets me know about it in real time.
Very interesting that only eight non-verified accounts had their data downloaded, but Twitter could be BSing in anticipation of the inevitable leak of blue-check data.
have they already cried "muh russians" because it's about to be that all over again. But supposedly it was someone in twitter who helped them get access... so good luck with that!
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.)
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.....
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.
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?)
Wasn't Trump's account taken over by a rogue employee a few years back? They most likely have highly restricted access to his account after that happened. Probably requires admin access
I'm just waiting for a "news" organization to spin this as Trump's fault or they were working for Trump. "Ah well they got Obama and Joe Biden but not Drumpf, must be Drumpfs doing!" Or has that already happened?
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.
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!
Elsewhere I read whoever 'hacked' the accounts and posted the 'Bitcoin' offers those posts DID NOT show up in their respective timelines. That's pretty good hacking...or an 'inside job'...
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.
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.
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.
All it cost the "hackers" was $2000 to take over a billion dollar tech company. These are the tech "geniuses" the world worships like Gods. NPC cucks disgust me.
You have to KNOW the target to get the REAL info. The Blue Check account is the Public front. How many have 'private' accounts few are even aware of...those are the one's to get...
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).
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.
If anyone sent anything of substance over Twitter DM, I'd be amazed.
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.
John Podesta's password was password. I think there are some that may be intellectually smart, but are common sense dumb.
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.
And she had the server behind the domain clintonemail.com
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.
Hubris
Dicking Bimbos Bill.
To be fair it was [email protected]
Case Closed.
I personally know of a former NSA director using AOL for personal e-mail. I kid you not.
Maybe he just likes the "You got mail!" thing still. Is that still a thing? Fuck, I haven't used AOL for like 25 years.
As of a five years ago, yes it was.
My boss always had his volume maxxed out, so every morning was
YOU'VE GOT MAIL
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 almost as foolish as thinking he writes or understands any of the speeches he gives.
i don't think the frontmen like biden, hillary, obama, aoc, schiff, etc are intelligent
i think gates, soros, the rothchilds and whoever else is handling the left behind the scenes are intelligent
so i won't be one bit surprised if biden gets caught with some retarded bullshit on social media
Meh, Biden doesn't even use that account. It's his handler's using it.
That dude probably has no idea what Twitter even is.
It's called mainstream for a reason. A majority of people are firmly residing there, wallowing in their retardation.
Those are NPCs who will always sway with whoever is in power, they can be disregarded imo
Remember the Fappening?
I member
Just googled it. Zero results.
Edit: "the fappening" = Zero results. "What is the happening" gets plenty.
I just googled it: About 6,800,000 results
Haha. It's probably my safe search settings...Though it gives results for other search strings. "The fappening" returns nothing. "What is the fappening" returns results.
Stop using Google.
I mean, runner123 was a password for one of the top campaign managers last election so...
No kidding, just look at page and strzok on govt pcs....
These are the same people that handed a dementia patient a list of approved reporters to allow questions and were gobsmacked the plan went tits up when he announced the list out loud.
Vid? Gotta see this...!
Probably no DM’s about treason or child trafficking but I bet there’s a ton of mockingbird talking heads sending DM’s coordinating “orange man bad” Talking points and how they know trump did nothing wrong
They learned that lesson. They went underground into encrypted chats and whatnot now.
that's true, they did. But we can wrangle a few of the idiots they keep on the periphery of their circle, i bet. Look how dumb Chrissy is, it took her this long to delet. She should have delet'ed the second we found the "skinny pedos drink pedo lyte" tweet. That was well over a year ago.
There are at least a few imo, who prolly thought that since it was Jack's operation that they therefore must be safe, because jack is up to his eyeballs in babyblood.
Hell, Acosta told some random dude to fuck off through a Twitter DM.
My money is on the United Front and they already had access to those DMs, but now they want Twitter to know they have them.
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.
if it was in the public interest they would have never announced it with a scam.... they would have just quietly kept access while they logged everything....
This
But this time it's only Rosie O'Donnell's nudes. 🤮
Problem is that we know what happened to Assange. Even hackers don't want that treatment.
Extortion for cash is one thing. Exposing all their dirty little secrets is something else altogether.
He had a twitter account with pol memes and despite having admin access didn't touch trump. You know what that means right? A trump supporting pol user now has bidens DMs. It's fucking OVER.
That dinosaur probably can’t even turn a phone on, much less DM somebody.
october surprise? Mr Assange, you listening?
Transitioning into dyke
That would make him more manly.
His head is wider than his shoulders.
meth.
Wayfair

Like a fuckin Snickers commercial with these people.
If the majority of vegans just shut up and kept their choices to themselves I don't think anyone would care and just think they're people with some anger issues. But as the saying goes, "how do you know someone is a vegan?"
I abandoned one of my accounts, they wanted to verify my email and phone. No, fuck you Twitter.
We’re forced to be anonymous on social media. If not, we can literally be fired for saying the most innocent nothings
Exactly. I have 27K followers on Twitter, just being normal MAGA, with funny memes. If I wasn't "anonymous" I'd be done. Nothing bad just maga.. that's all they need
But those blue check marks love to reap those internet points. They can’t help themselves
They want their Chinese overlords to give them good social credit.
Exactly! This whole 'this is my life story' on social media is so fucking stupid. We should have never let normies onto the internet
I hope you guys have deleted your Twitter accounts by now. There's no reason to have one past 2016.
Yeah... That's not at ALL what I expected when I searched your username.
You people have zero appreciation for just how powerful Twitter is. We would run the place if we weren't censored.
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.
A handful of people deserting a platform doesn’t do shit though. You need to convince a massive amount of people to leave that platform somehow.
"""handful"""
You:
"We would run the place if we weren't censored."
Also you, your very next reply:
"we are not censored."
🤔
Easy when I never bothered with that garbage.
I use mine everyday for one purpose. It’s a direct communications line from President Trump to me. Whatever he’s thinking, he lets me know about it in real time.
Very interesting that only eight non-verified accounts had their data downloaded, but Twitter could be BSing in anticipation of the inevitable leak of blue-check data.
Next announcement will be revised to "up to 8 million". 🤣
It's bullshit, they're lying
I wonder if they did the Bitcoin thing after getting what they really needed.
They could be alt accounts
Rules of announcing a hack:
So there might be a data drop like the emails from 2016? This should turn out to be very interesting.
God I hope so...hard to focus on covid when the lefts heros are making the rounds on the internet as child sacrificers
Didn’t they go after lefties for the most part?
and we know they got into Obama's and Biden's...
have they already cried "muh russians" because it's about to be that all over again. But supposedly it was someone in twitter who helped them get access... so good luck with that!
Bypass 2 factor security? Most likely Chinese hackers now have access to Biden's DM and we will never get a leak.
It said it was only for 8 unverified accounts. Although they could be lying by omission
CNN: This is a debunked conspiracy theory.
Snopes: Did podesta say he has a chest full of dead kids in his basement?
False.
Podesta did say he had a chest full of kids but these kids were actually in his attic not his basement.
Oh no.... THAT sucks.
The Bitcoin scam was likely a smokescreen for this. They wanted the DMs.
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?

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

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?)
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.
Wasn't Trump's account taken over by a rogue employee a few years back? They most likely have highly restricted access to his account after that happened. Probably requires admin access

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.
ITSEC and Meteorology...the two professions where you can fail more than 80 percent of the time and STILL get paid...
As long as people insist on connecting devices with valuable information to the fucking INTERNET, yeah, InfoSec has job security.
Companies have also learned that offshoring InfoSec is problematic, so, more job security.
In the end they get defeated by a 14 year old Chinese kid with a 10 year old laptop...
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!
Insider threats are a big problem...whether through carelessness or by design. It's not just the Eric Snowdens or Reality Winners...
Oh geez yeah. I was just talking about duped/phished insiders.
Actual insider threat is devastating. Especially when they can get to air-gapped systems.
Right. I've been around Infrastructure long enough to remember when TEMPEST was invented...
paid? more like promoted. all the good hackers stay away from companies.
Elsewhere I read whoever 'hacked' the accounts and posted the 'Bitcoin' offers those posts DID NOT show up in their respective timelines. That's pretty good hacking...or an 'inside job'...

Don’t Put Real Information On Social Media
Please be ourguy white hats. Twitter is evil and needs to be exposed and gutted.
Might learn much more about how Twatter actually works.
virginspez: You can be sure that the "fake" tweets only went out after (they) downloaded all they could.
Can't wait to read some of the leaked DM's.
Boy it sucks to be on Twitter right now...
You won't have to...
Well zipiddy-fuckin-do-dah, would you look at that...
Imagine how long they were in these accounts, could have been months, then they made their move to show that they were there.
Too many BIG Names to avoid coming clean...the kind that WOULD REGULATE Social Media...
All it cost the "hackers" was $2000 to take over a billion dollar tech company. These are the tech "geniuses" the world worships like Gods. NPC cucks disgust me.
Class action lawsuit
Wonder how many hotdog orders were made?
It does...and we don't know Trump wasn't 'hacked'...
This must mean Twitter stores your current password in plain text.
There’s no way this was executed simply to post a played-out bitcoin scam. That was just a cover.
Lol, jack is the epitome of a soy boy. Look at those week little arms.
Oh boy, now we get to find out how truly stupid these people are. How much incriminating shit do they talk about in twitter DMs.
Probably white hackers. We should let black hackers have a go as they are underrepresented.
Waiting for those spicy journo and politico DMs....
Let's go ahead and leak spez' tweets.
I can see it now-
"I'm spez and I'm woke enough! I don't need any xenxosrsjng Don't put that butt plug online!_
Interesting that no accounts outside of US were hacked.
...as far as we know. This isn't over. A hack of this magnitude often results in the really BAD news trickling out weeks or even months later.
Remember the OPM hack? At first it was benign...eventually they admitted the CHICOMS got it ALL...
They had time to do China leaders or Iran and many others. Unless CIA did it and got it behind scenes.
And using bitcoin for black ops funding
You have to KNOW the target to get the REAL info. The Blue Check account is the Public front. How many have 'private' accounts few are even aware of...those are the one's to get...
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
LOL i said from day one twitter was a mistake and refused to join it. soo happy i did
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.
Whoever DM'ed 'em likely didn't DM Trump...Maxwell comes to mind...
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...
Soy Milk Bad (SMB)
