Twitter Hack Was the Result of Social Engineering
Social Engineering Attack Vector Twitter have declared that the route taken by the threat actors who pulled off this month’s Twitter hack and Bitcoin scam was social engineering. They made convincing but bogus phone calls to Twitter employees and managed to convince them to reveal their credentials. According to Twitter, the social engineering attack gave the threat actors the credentials of a limited set of employees, making it possible for the bad guys to access Twitter’s internal network and support tools.
