Hmm, apparently the people behind this have been behind quite a few high profile Twitter account hacks recently. They also hacked the account of a gaming YouTuber called Etika, as well as others like Shane Dawson and James Charles:

Wonder if the affected users all used the same system in the past?
- sdan 7y agoThese high-level Youtubers used 2Fac with their phones, which nowadays is easy to port (port their phone numbers to your SIM using social hacking). Only if they (and jack) used a FIDO U2F key would they be really safe.
- zenexer 7y agoDoes Twitter even permit that? If I recall correctly, it forces SMS 2FA. In this case, Jack's account would've been compromised regardless because the tweets were sent via a third-party application that he had authorized to use his account.
