Cybersecurity experts say the July 15 breach that enabled hackers to access Twitter’s internal system, resulting in the hijacking of a number of high-profile accounts, was likely more than just the cryptocurrency fraud it appeared to be. It also opened up a barrage of concerns about Twitter’s own tools.
The massive breach, which allowed one or more intruders to post on behalf of some prominent Twitter users—only generated just over $117,000 in bounty as of July 16. The FBI is now currently leading an inquiry into the Twitter hacking, unnamed sources familiar with the situation told Reuters.
