More than 1,000 Twitter employees and contractors had access to the internal tool that was core to its giant hack

A huge number of Twitter employees and contractors were able to access the internal tool that was central to the huge hack that took place earlier in July.

The former employees familiar with Twitter security practices said that too many people could have done the same thing, more than 1,000 as of earlier in 2020, including some at contractors like Cognizant. Threats from insiders, especially lower-paid outside support staff, are a constant worry for companies serving large numbers of users, cyber security experts said. They said that the greater the number of people who can change key settings, the stronger oversight must be.

Although the public evidence tying the hacking to those was circumstantial, ultra-short Twitter handles were among the first to be hijacked.

There's an easy access on admin panel-- Every hackers dream! We need to secure and power our future. Security practices and infrastructure must evolve. iotex_io is the future of device and data security – decentralized, robust, hack-proof.

This is not uncommon in enterprises with partners who develop tools. Now do Amazon, specifically AWS...your minds will literally be blown. That’s all I can say.

They spent almost $1B on R&D last year. WTF are those people doing? What a shit show!

SAI That's one of the two reasons behind this hack.

K_Thomas_Ross Wow. Complete breach of cyber security compliance. jack really bro? No matter how big the company that tool should only be accessed by a dozen people who have their tech scrubbed and reissued like passwords minimum of twice a year.
