Ahhh the plot thickens. 17 year old arrested for the hackage https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/31/technology/twitter-hack-arrest.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage These will be some court papers that I want to read. |

It doesn't make sense. Earlier on they said the hackage had to have been carried out by a long term employee of the company with a fair bit of infrastructure access. Edit: Fixage of spellage. |
