I think the fact that "a 17yo was able to gain access to the private messages of potentially some of the most important individuals in the world" does pretty serious damage to their reputation — that is in itself a repercussion.

You'd think so, but the history shows that this will only be a footnote in Twitters history. See Equifax; they have lost the personal finance data of basically everyone in the US and they're doing fine. Twitter is not going to suffer anything other than a few bad jokes at its expense.
