What I want to know: was the exploit fixed? The Twitter security flaw closed off??
If not this will just continue happening.
The last info I got from the Twitter security team is trying to investigate the incident. I am very sure that social media as big as Twitter will not allow that to happen again, because that incident is an event where a portion of Twitter that has been verified tweeted a scam.
It is very naive of you to believe that it will "never happen" again. No matter how much they say that their security is really strong and unbreakable, they will be eventually breached. I kinda think that it was someone from the inside that probably did this or helped some to achieve this. This incident itself shows us how vulnerable everything in online is.
This also shows us gullible people are. Just because a "verified" account tweeted it, they thought it was real.
