Basically, we all got very lucky that whoever was behind the Twitter hack today was not a very good criminal. They had control of Twitter accounts for some of the world’s most powerful public figures, and used it to make… roughly $300,000? https://t.co/TbszMb5YTn

Which doesn’t excuse Twitter for leaving this kind of security hole open, of course! (Yes, I am indeed a prolific user of Twitter embeds, but I still haven’t actually joined. And not just cuz it’s so popular, although mostly… )
We’ve updated our story. Twitter says their employees were compromised via a social engineering attack. How that happened is probably colorful, but less important (given enough time/ppl, spear phishing has a great success rate) What matters is that Twitter didn’t have safeguards.
