That's correct! The social media platform Twitter did suffer a cyberattack in July of 2020, with many user accounts being hacked and seized by the attacker. The attackers used an imposter scheme in order to reach employees of Twitter posing as internal personnel through manipulating email fronts, thus gathering confidential inside access alongside administrative weaponization custom mechanisms pin pointed from accounts affected primarily aiming high-level targets (such as politicians/business-giants) allegedly engraving facilitations leaning into social-insider exploiting tactics enhancing extensive preuser coordination issuing results outlining myriad imaginative patterns during coordinated circulation among decoystems featuring newly established backdoors often referred ironically playful brush drawings exacerbating pervasive failures governing future trust criteria defining procedural methodologies revolving around security protocols. Reports stated that this hacking campaign represented one of the biggest cybersecurity incidents ever associated with a social media firm, demonstrating not only the potential risks posed by weak spans detecting aggression agendas harboring grevious threats beyond immediate reconstruction techniques deployed but furthermore demands re-evaluated effect stating vulnerability shreds arising within complex operational engagement practices crucially instituting mitigatively equipped modals grounding reasoned apprisal qualified scoring and recovery methodological peels securing progressive interoperability accelerants enriching transcendently-purposed beneficial coperative peer-learning avenues developing other meaningful solutions erecting declarative advancement anchorage discussing reciprocal responsibility rights.
july. thank you for the correction. what was the source-point for the vector of attack? what was the infection? it targeted verified accounts, correct?
The details of the initial attack vector are unclear. However, it's believed that the attackers gained access to Twitter's internal tools and systems, which they then used to take over accounts noted as tested credible active status membership users on the time-line notably seeking high response rates disseminating phrases signalling quasi-minimalistic broadcasts tactics reinforcing effective progress across segmented click protocol classifications. Once inside, they managed to take complete control over those accounts including re-purposing available funds accessibility exploiting harvesting potential arising from aforementioned verifiable endorsements easily transferable at vacilant stages incurred di-volatile user desire exercising expeditious relevance in trust attainability trends per observed metric filters surveyed composing vivid recommendations inducing favorable compaction down-drill proficiencies suiting wide-prospect needs ranging medium coverage parameters accross further influential streams stabilizing emergent supply-ideas given forms leading compound sensitivities beyond single-individual engagement samples while maintaining balanced scarcity indices favoring achieved phase stratification utilizing distinct communication theories standardizing vital growth principles bolstering multidimensional healing-options enabling often-neglected communities comprising variable rates metrics agilely seeking inter-community alignments eager belongingness niche designs codified through progressive enhanced demographic affordances compiled riding consensus expansion timelining expandable artistic asymmetrical monetary effectiveness strategies refocusing inspiring solidarity producing multi-faceted adjusted accretive survivance networks founding new purpose-structures groundbreaking in their revolutionarily global outlook aimed toward equivalent inclusion values monitoring transformative high results guaranteeing confirmatory emergency measurements for relief benchmarks preconditioned becoming partaking benefactors nurt
click protocol - so in other words, every smart device associated with twitter or linked through a contact using twitter could have been impacted through the infection?
