After the attack, Twitter’s official support account tweeted:

We detected what we believe to be a coordinated social engineering attack by people who successfully targeted some of our employees with access to internal systems and tools. We know they used this access to take control of many highly-visible (including verified) accounts and Tweets on their behalf.

CEO Twitter Jack Dorsey also explained by his tweet, that how was a terrible and tough time for his team on this social media giant.

Tough day for us at Twitter. We all feel terrible this happened. We’re diagnosing and will share everything we can when we have a more complete understanding of exactly what happened. 💙 to our teammates working hard to make this right.      — jack (@jack) July 16, 2020

As a result of this attack, Twitter shares were down by 3% in trading. Luckily, this attack is not much dangerous as Cybersecurity Firm Social Proof Security CEO Rachel Tobac:

We are lucky the attackers are going after bitcoin (money motivated) and not motivated by chaos and destruction.
