Your site is getting hacked, you don't know how the hackers are doing it, what do you do ops wise? Take the whole site down for a few hours? Because the entire platform is compromised, how do you handle that?
Yes, of course. Take the site down if you don't have a read only mode or something. You are losing millions in trust every minute this hack goes on.
Uber has been hacked as well. At this point, they can get any high profile Twitter user. EDIT: You know this is a coordinated Twitter hack when they have Apple's account hacked [0]. https://twitter.com/Apple/status/1283506278707408900
They haven't yet gone after the most prominent Twitter user.
I'm flabbergasted they haven't just hit the panic button and shut everything down. Unless, perhaps, they can't.
You mean shutdown Twitter? I think that's a bit extreme in this case.
As far as we can tell right now, Obama and Biden could've posted about a complete coup to assassinate Trump and that every middle eastern country already has nukes on their way...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> Imagine if the hackers timed the intrusion during github outage, and twitter's employees can't deploy a fix for the exploit fast enough because github was down! Is Twitter really using GitHub internally (even self-hosted)?
Is there even a self hosted Github? AFAIK there is no public offering of the sort.
Given how huge this hack is, and how little the BTC reward is going to be, I'm tempting to think this is either: - a test of a new hacking system - a demonstration to a big client - a first shot to threat some entity - a diversion while they get the real loot And that the BTC messages are just a way to justify it so it looks like a simple scam. Such a hack is worth way, WAY more than the few BTC it could bring.
Headline seems pretty editorialized.
1) shut down api endpoints 2) locked down all verified accounts 3) blocked any tweets with the btc address in them 4) make a statement if they really can't stop it?
