> A hacker pulling off an exfiltration of the entire DB of any major tech company I'm very skeptical about that happening.
Under normal circumstances I would agree, but after firing so many people I can't imagine that security at Twitter is still priority #1, they likely have trouble keeping the lights on.
That would be the cherry on top of all this drama
I would not at all be surprised. At the rate Twitter is going down the drain you can expect anything, up to and including their hardware being sold at auction to the highest bidder, with some bad luck harddrives included.
Unless you mean purposeful 'hacks' with a specific agenda that only leaks private DMs of a select group? Yes, that would be bad.
