Twitter's clumsy response to hack raises questions about Jack Dorsey's role
- olliej 6y agohonestly I didn't think it was a clumsy response. It seems perfectly reasonable: * First they clearly assumed it was a limited number of accounts that were compromised, so they went after single accounts. * Once they realized there was a bigger problem, they locked down the high value (for this kind of scam) accounts * Then they went for a high level filter so the same scam couldn't appear on any other accounts while they worked out what happened * They didn't re-enable the locked accounts until they had a handle on, and presumably control of, the attack. This seems like a reasonable response, and the time between when it started, to when they stopped it, to when they restored service all seemed absolutely fine. It speaks somewhat to a lack of sufficient access control limits, but there are very few companies can guarantee that their access control divisions are perfect.
