Frankly, I love Twitter. They've always seemed like the "scrappy" big player in the tech space that's played just the right side of the norm in many cases. An appropriately filtered experience on Twitter as a user is actually quite fun. That said, much of this is atrocious news. For all of their engineering prowess, seeing poor opsec failures combined with the lack of basic security principles like "containment of blast radius" and "fast response to critical failures" is not something you can easily forgive at this scale. But who am I kidding... it would be especially rich if some of these takeovers were enabled by simjacking-like attacks. Not that long ago, the only two-factor auth mechanism that worked for me was SMS.
