Most people have (or have access to) some amount of money. Doesn't have to be huge, but most people would be able to find a couple grand if they were guaranteed fast 200% returns on their investment.

I mean, I wouldn't put it past Twitter's likely H1B1 devs to allow such an exploit but getting into the backend like that doesn't say "script kiddie" to me. It says insider or very talented blackhat. I haven't done web dev in years now and I'm if anything behind the times after being in management for so long but an exploit of this degree is totally unacceptable at a SMB level, much less one of the most popular social media platforms there is. Not to mention all the VIP accounts that didn't have extra layers of protection on them.

An ex-president or prime minister shouldn't have the same submission flow as Joe Blow, period. Especially given the reach and resources Twitter has. At the end of the day this shouldn't have happened for as long as it did if Twitter was competent. At most it should have propagated through a few dozen smaller "VIP" accounts before it was caught. The fact they allowed heads of state accounts to be so easily compromised is what blows my mind.

It's sad but could be fixed very easily by the celebrities ($100k split between dozens of multimillionaires) the real question is how many of the transactions came from victims rather than the scammer.
