#114> At least some of the compromised accounts have multi-factor authentication enabled, including CoinDesk's. Interesting. I wonder if it was a SMS hack, and if not, then a new kind of vulnerability?

#116So many accounts are affected, this seems to be a system-level hack rather than a compromise of individual accounts. Someone has found a way to post a tweet from any account they like?
One theory is it's a tweet scheduling platform, rather than Twitter itself that was hacked.
These tweets are showing up as being posted from the Twitter web interface.

Is there a way to pin a tweet via SMS? I don't think so... and these tweets are getting pinned.

Where did you get the 2.5BTC number from? It's more like 1.3BTC by looking up the address on their website. https://bitref.com/bc1qxy2kgdygjrsqtzq2n0yrf2493p83kkfjhx0wl... Edit: I stand corrected. Holy crap!
