probably a social media manager api keys
But when you post a tweet via api, the tweet will include the app's name at the bottom? The screenshot in the article has "Twitter Web App" at the bottom.
Hackers take over prominent Twitter accounts in simultaneous attack

#422This is what happens when you put all of your communication eggs into a single basket. Twitter needed to be taken down a couple of pegs. I think accounts of a high enough profile may want to closely examine the ActivityPub ecosystem.
So unprofessional

#425Given 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.

#426All @apple tweets removed? @Apple hasn’t Tweeted When they do, their Tweets will show up here. https://twitter.com/Apple

#427Twitter should suspend the entire platform until they can credibly fix this and prevent it in the future. An attacker could drop AMZN stock by 10% in minutes with just the wrong tweet from Bezos.

You would think they would do something with Trump if it was arbitrary accounts. But maybe his has additional protections
I believe I read something (trying to find it) about Twitter internally having additional protections on Trump's account. Only a handful of people within Twitter can touch it.

You mean shutdown Twitter? I think that's a bit extreme in this case.
Twitter used to go down all the time. Just put up the fail whale for old time's sake.

>Such a hack is worth way, WAY more than the few BTC it could bring. lol tons of ppl have been scammed. If by 'little' you means hundreds of k. In some Eastern European country that can last a lifetime.
