Read Twitter's Update On The Huge Hack ‐ 8 Accounts May Have Had Private Messages Stolen
2020-07-19
Follow up to this preliminary report of the July 15th hack.
[MSN] The VERGE: On Friday evening, Twitter issued its first full blog post about what happened after the biggest security lapse in the company's history, one that led to attackers getting hold of some of the highest profile Twitter accounts in the world-- including Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, President Barack Obama, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Kanye West, Michael Bloomberg, and more.

They may even have DMs that the 8 individuals deleted, given that Twitter stores DMs on its servers as long as either party to a conversation keeps them around -- we learned last February that you can retrieve deleted DMs by downloading the "Your Twitter Data" archive, even if you've deleted them yourself.
