A lot of people (rightly) pointing out that the actual exploit payload here is a horribly inefficient way to monetize such awesome power. Some of the replies that influencing regulated markets would be traceable...sure, but trillions of dollars flow through these markets each and every day. A decently large options position accumulated over days wouldn't raise any red flags, and one tweet about the Fed raising rates…
So... What if this is just massive distraction for a Twitter content manipulation of some sort, like making some tweets disappear or incriminating some people with malicious content?
