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.

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.
