Who has any thoughts on the Twitter hack?

Prolly just an API access thing. Celebrities allow an app to post to the timeline, forget to revoke the permissions, bam. Guy who did it got like a hundred K or so he'll never be able to liquidate. He should have posted goatse.cc or something.

I hope it is not part of a much larger attack targeting elections.

Twitter took way too long to respond, possibly because they thought the issue was with the users and not themselves.

there was a GUI through which employees had high levels of access to accounts: vice.com/en_us/art...

oh man, I think it's probably the biggest hack in a long time. I wonder if it has to do with their new API being released soon. someone on HN speculated that it was because they were deprecating the old API which may have had the vulnerability.

in a strange coincidence twtr stock was exactly at the same spot 5 years ago as it is today: ibb.co/Q9b1bvr

That is strange. I wonder if this will have a noticeable impact on their stock price. Do you think their stock will substantially fall tomorrow?

sounded internal, like a royal messup from twitter themselves
