An incident impacting 5M accounts and private information on Twitter

I’m six months in and they haven’t asked for a phone number yet. I dread the day when they do. This is where proficiency in the Twilio API comes in handy.

Don't you still have to use an actual phone number when you sign up for Twilio?

If you trust twilio security policy you can defer the weakness of Twitter policy in favor of the strength of twilio.

when I started liking "too many" tweets I got hit with it and my mobile carrier (canada btw) refused to deliver txt msgs from Twitter so I could never get verified.

Lucky you. I can't create another twitter account as my number is on a network unreachable by their SMS system. Worst of both worlds for me as when that number was on another network they could verify. So leaked number that I cannot even use to verify a second business account :-(.

That's crazy. I can't remember the last time I wasn't straight up locked within 2 minutes of my first login.

Guess Linux users are bad, or whatever makes them trigger each f*ING time.

Created and accessed over Tor or a clearnet connection?
