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 suppose he was cleaver enough not to use that platform for sensitive data. Problem is, if confirmed, the Twitter employee who participated in this hack. Could have gone even more wrong if it would have been used to look like officials and journalists were announcing something ridiculous like an invasion or a nuclear war. What would be the public reaction? Mobs unleashed? Mass panic and riots? Would people be cleaver enough to think before gobbling up and going nuts? Idk...

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

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.
