I'm shocked this kind of stuff is still happening after so many incidents. I see sites like twitter and facebook put so much improvements and efforts hunting *hate posts* and censoring users on their platforms who don't follow the mainstream points of view, that I ask myself: shouldn't they be putting the same effort at least to preserve their users integrity on their platforms?
I hope all those who were hacked sue twitter for such violation, and of course, that the hackers be caught as well.
What made you think that twitter didn't upgrade their security systems? What made you think that hackers didn't upgrade their hacking knowledge? Why do you think that sueing Twitter will put an end to hacking?
Twitter employees around the world are working from home right now which is a big security challenge because all employees are using local ISPs. Obviously they are using VPN to connect to the office network, but that is not a fullproof security practice and may expose the network for breaching.
From my past experience in working with a top tier Global IT company, I can tell that such kind of hacking attacks are unprecedented you never know what flaws hackers will find in your system! However, we always look for the efforts they have taken to mitigate the threat after it is first noticed! I believe Twitter has done their best to mitigate the attack.
But one thing I must admit that the approach taken by the hackers to make money is very low IQ approach.
