True, but I think this case opens up doors on regulation of tech companies for security, or at least new laws for security negligence. The power that Twitter has due to its highest-profile users is immense, however, this hack made them look incredibly stupid.

I don't disagree, it's pretty damn embarrassing someone can get the keys to the kingdom through some social engineering.

My only concern is what happened with Equifax - some punishment is put on the company and it's only a token amount and nothing changes.
