- metafunctor 6y agoSorry, but $120k is ridiculously low for something like this.

- aj3 6y agoMany previous ICO hacks (wait for initial coin offering -> change the bitcoin address to your own) have paid millions. Musk's or Buffet's tweets have moved markets multiple times. This sort of access could have been leveraged to gain at least x100 more than what they achieved.
- saberdancer 6y agoMoving the market doesn't do anything if you don't have the stocks. This might have been a temporary hack where the hacker was not sure how much time he has. It could be simple as someone gaining access to an unlocked home PC of a remote Twitter employee.
