It was hardly a hack. Some clown pinned the admin credentials in a Slack channel. The "hackers" were also stupid enough to use their actual driving license as ID on the cryptocurrency exchange website.

As Twitter confirmed last week, 130 accounts were targeted in all. Attackers successfully tweeted from 45 of the accounts, accessed the direct messages of 36, and downloaded the Twitter data of seven. On Thursday evening, Twitter disclosed that attackers got in through social engineering, specifically through a phone spear-phishing attack, that targeted company employees. Court documents don’t provide much more detail than that and only allege that Clark’s actions date back to around May 3.

https://www.wired.com/story/how-alleged-twitter-hackers-got-caught-bitcoin/ Includes a criminal complaint.

The lack of sophistication is alarming.

Note that while a single name is mentioned yet the plural reference 'attackers' is still shoved into the reporting.

Makes for a better lookage for Twitter.

"Hackage"? You mean "hacked". This current trend of appending "...age" to the end of a word or action, is stupid.

Stupid? Who the F are you, Miss Beavers, my eighth grade English teacher? No, I meant hackage and that is why I wrote hackage. If I meant hacked, I would have written hacked and not hackage.

Here is a nice grade school level site https://www.ck12.org/spelling/the-suffix-age/lesson/suffix-age/
for you to study that has some examples and practice lists for you, showing how a verb + age = a noun. You can do this with nouns also, like tonnage.
 
Before you declare the use of some words as stupid, you might also consider evaluating your own word usage a little more precisely.  How could one append an (not a), "..age" to an action, as differentiated  from appending it to a word. To do so is metaphysically absurd. When you walk down the street, can you append "...age" to the action of walking down the street? Perhaps, you are confused and mean append an, "...age" suffix to a noun or a verb.

Just as you think what I wrote is stupid, I think what you wrote was the action of a retardate (and yes, that is the correct way of saying it, not retard). Maybe you could start a thread on word rants. I will be happy to contribute because the twatage that you wrote is rant-worthy.  :)

Relax, take it easy, be nice, watch some Mr. Belvedere reruns  ;D

Have some camomile tea and sedatives, I think you are more a worthy candidate, based on your VERY angry tone  ;D

I suppose I should issue another slappage to you, since you immediately (about one hour) responded to the thread that I started, with nothing related to the topic and decided that what I did was "stupid". That is simple rudeness. Three posts now and you still have not posted anything even remotely related to the topic.

I read your "I wanna be a ASM wizard" thread and, well, my conclusion is simply that you just don't interest me. Sorry pal.

One doesn't usually engage with someone/thing which "doesn't interest" them, not sure why you replied. Happy word appending! :)

DON'T YOU GET IT?! It's FAR "cooler" than you see it to be, as it's append(age)d!  ;D ;D

Maybe this hackage package could  be thrown into the garbage?

I don't know this fellow and I see that he has a lot of followers. I really enjoyed these two videos (note the dates as the first one was posted after the arrests, but the earlier one was spot on). I agree with much of what he said.
