News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I think it likely varies on the person we're talking about. Is Obama personally tweeting and sending private memes in his DMs? Doubtful. Kanye or Elon Musk? I'd guess yes, actually.

Ah, Elon, forgot about that one. I fully believe he runs his own twitter. How else is he going to control the stock market!? ;)

You’re right, I assume his would be one of the accounts that was exfil’ed

He's verified though, and they claim the only exfil'd accounts weren't.

They didn’t say that only those 8 non-verified accounts had DMs accessed.

Kanye West and Elon Musk have absolutely nothing of value in their DMs. Anything you could do with access to Musk's DMs you could do better just by tweeting as Musk.

There is no value in Twitter DMs.

Why do you dismiss hypothetical questions out of hand, without evidence? Can one prove a negative or disprove a counterfactual statement? I just don’t know why you think that you must be right, as the actions of the hackers indicate otherwise. It’s hard to tell what is intent and what is misdirection when it comes to hacks of this nature, all the same.

I'm sure the folks shorting TSLA would disagree on Elon's DMs.

Maybe Kanye's DMs would reveal he's really just fucking with everyone and hasn't actually completely lost it.

Well... Maybe just the former.
