The part I found surprising: 'Twitter fell outside the “things we take seriously” boundary'

Sure Twitter is rubbish, but it's still a huge platform, still tied to your brand, you're still using it, so it can still hurt you. Either take it seriously or stop using it.

You mean X, right? Sounds like neither them nor you take it seriously :)

Before the Twitter Change of Control, we were actively using it. After, it fell into a kind of limbo. There was a solid 6 months or so when we thought maybe we were just going to do everything via our Hachyderm account. Shit's complicated. And if we'd stopped using it altogether, we'd still be in the same boat!

Thanks for your answer. I get it, you're people, it's a mistake, it's not the most horrible thing ever, but a simple "oops my bad" would have been a shorter blog post. Would you really have been in the same boat if the tweet shown mentioned in the phishing effort had never been posted, or did the phisher fabricate that entirely?
