Didn’t the hack need internal access? VPN maybe?

Sure, but if they connected to the VPN from their own IP, then that's not going to hide anything.

Doable, although annoying to configure correctly. Beneficial if you want to obscure your identity from the second VPN server (i.e. Twitter's, in this case, which ought to be logging connections)
