I'm going to be curious to see how this unfolds!

As this Verge article describes, Gemini was hacked but they had both strong passwords + 2FA enabled! So, it'll be interesting to see how that account as compromised despite that.

If scammers used employees "internal tools" and were able to impersonate anyone on Twitter, what's more scary to me is how powerful Twitter employees are.

Developers are able to impersonate others... in a production environment ... on Twitter! That sounds like a scary lack of basic security boundaries.
