that was twitter support. there last week saying, we have locked accounts and will restore access to the account only when we are certain that we can do so securely and they have restored most of those. causing a lot of concern including among politicians and they weighed in on twitter as this was happening. senator brian schatz of hawaii saying they should be given some space to conduct an investigation but given the extent to which public officials communicate through twitter, this could be tried dangerous -- quite dangerous. general'scommanding tara copp being hacked. hacked.er account being i do have great concerns about what the hack of twitter means for the safety of our elections and other critical infrastructure. we have toan ever, strengthen our nation's cybersecurity. congressman holly rudolph, "this hack is a reminder that we must do more. today it is bitcoin, tomorrow it could be a fake declaration of war." one other member that weighed in yesterday was senator josh hawley of missouri, the republic

if this is actually the case but as twitter c.e.o. jack dorsey says it was a tough day at twitter others are even tweeting about leaving the platform altogether some even saying to join the platform parlor well the scam even caught the attention of the f.b.i. and now twitter may face some serious questions about its internal security precautions some even wondering if this scam could prompt government investigations reporting for at the present conscious wait r.t. . all right great report natasha and joining us now to discuss all of this is. ben swann investigative journalist and of course a line all legal and media analysts he of lionel media gentlemen welcome to meet the press all right ben for you know from what i say as a layman who is not all that technically you know educated what i gather from from natasha is that this could have been an inside job. or maybe not and they targeted employees to get into the accounts how to explain in layman's terms what you believe happened here with this hack well that's right that's what's real

accounts on twitter. we are investigating and taking steps to fix it. we will update everyone shortly. nothing conclusive the stock is down about 3.5%. >> so they don't know what's behind this? >> it appears not. i mean, there are some theories circulating, but i think some of those accounts hacked said they did have two-factor authentication that is something that has been attributed to why individual accounts have been hacked in the past this does seem different trying to get to the bottom of it wendy's, another company's account has also been hit by this hack. >> the list grows and grows or at least the accounts we are aware of have been hacked grows and grows. so you have the likes of mike bloomberg, elon musk, uber, apple, president obama, vice president biden. jeff mills, i don't know what's going on over at twitter, but the stock is down by 3.7%. >> yeah. i don't know what's going on right now either it's pretty interesting. i'll go back to gene's point for a second talking about the temporary natu

the twitter sphere blew up back. the twitter sphere blew up about the hack. the incident began trending, tens of thousands of posts used the hashtag hacked. i spoke to ryan kalember, executive vice—president with the cyber security firm proofpoint and asked him what he made of the hack. the vulnerabilities of those exploits would have been worth untold numbers to people who could use it for insider trading or disinformation, obviously. but, that said, they seem to have been used in a fairly amateurish way and for that i suppose we can be thankful and twitter did respond quite quickly here. so, what do you think the point of it was? well, in this case, there was a very clear desire to commit a very basic form of financial crime. financial crime is actually quite hard, if you're going to, say, rob a bank, or get large numbers of people to do insider trading on your behalf. you have to figure out how to move that money and then hide all of the movements of that money. bitcoin presents none of those challenges, so if you have this sort of access and you are not

there are some big questions for twitter to answer, namely being, who are the hackers? were they a group of criminals? were they attached to a nation state? what kind of information did they access? we could see that the attackers were able to take over accounts and tweet from them. were they also able to see direct messages and other private information belonging to these high profile figures? the investigation of course is still ongoing. there is the fbi investigation looking into who might have been behind this and also twitter internally looking to figure out how this all happened. twitter says it was the result of social engineering and that one of their own employees had been targeted. there is interest in this from across the political spectrum and around the world and the senate intelligence committee has requested information from twitter about the hack. >> thank you so much for that report. >>> in a move that could impact the november election, the supreme court has now allowed florida to bar those with felony convictions from voting unless they pay court fine

it showed a direct flaw within twitter. they had basic saaccess to backd systems that allowed them to hijack the accounts out there. when we start to look at what hackers do and the methods they operate by, we try to categorize them into who they might be based on the pattern they exhibit. if it's ransom wear, they may have tried to target twitter this one was particularly interesting because it literally just went in and went noisy all up in front. sgr does the fact these perpetrators did not get away with a lot of money and didn't do what you described there which is sell the access they had developed for multiple millions of dollars, does it tell you they were amateurs or what >> that could be one of the pieces they were script kitties or people or novembice or average they were doing something called scripting or building programming logic behind this. we don't know how long they have been in twitter. it kbould a much larger systemic breech they could have had access for weeks, montss, stoelden messages >> do you think

has a twitter or uses twitter is tweeting today could be affected by this. could have been affected the breaches contained according to twitter what happened there was. we know right now basically social engineer or bribed workers employees of twitter and have them give them access to these accounts and then use them to make money should we shut down our accounts what should we do how do we protect ourselves right now. i think i think we're fine right now especially if you're not a high profile con but even if your profile account as it looks right now today is contained and they blocked some features so that it can't happen again right now but what we should note and what we should take away from that is if you use it for example a direct messages on twitter they are not to see your communications to their not for sensitive communications employees or twitter kind of access to it and they can have access to your account we knew that before but it's very obvious now again with a hack ok those are really. very important message sent who could have been behind

what do you mean by a walk out from twitter? look, yet again it take somebody like me, i'm an actor and writer, not an activist. i stood up against racism and what i witnessed over 48—hours of wiley‘s account spewing out not just over 48—hours of wiley‘s account spewing out notjust conspiracy tropes, i have never seen racism like it. post after post. it was upsetting to read. the problem is, you know, wiley is entitled to his opinion to hatejewish people. but what he is not entitled to do is break the law on hate crime and use a platform, who remit says it is against race hate. platforms like twitter do so little on accounts that promote vile race hatred. i spoke out last night, just a huge deluge of people have supported me. i think if twitter wants me to take this seriously, a lot of people are going to do a 48—hour walk—out on twitter and instagram on monday, starting at 9 o'clock, to say no, this should not be a safe place for racism. there should be no safe place for anti—jewish racism. this isn't political, t

some of your comments on twitter to this twitter story. one writing, the fbi is not likely to find out who did this. another saying, i don't have any tweets that anybody would hack. another saying, the news makes me happy. if hacked, i don't have anything, especially bitcoin. hackers are going to hack just like haters are going to hate. rebecca saying, twitter is not doing harm to the country. it is the unbridled hate spewed by a few that is worsening the conversation in this country. rick is next out of boston, massachusetts. how concerned are you about this twitter hack? caller: i think they should shut all of that stuff down. look at trump, he has got a lot of stuff from the beginning. the wikileaks and all that stuff and he is the one complaining about mail fraud. they should shut all of that stuff down right before election and put it back on the next day after the election. that's all i have to say. host: how far out from elections do you think social media should be shut down if that is a step that this country took? caller: i think

twitter temporarily prevented some verified users from tweeting after the hack. they are working on restoring full access to those accounts. shannon: coronavirus deaths, 137,000 in the us and 3.5 million, the most of any country, the cdc reported 51,000 new cases yesterday in the us, nearly half of those coming from three states, florida, arizona and texas come all three raising concerns over lack of icu beds as hospitalizations grow. one of the most contentious things is whether students should return to school in the fall. education secretary betsy dvohs. >> education is an essential function, schools are essential, teachers are essential, kids have got to get back in school. as we talk about schools reopening again it seems centered more around adult needs and dishes than what is right for kids. in suburban washington fairfax county schools are going out with a plan that would have kids in school a maximum of 2 days a week in person, starting at 10 am. what kind of family can orient their schedules around that kind of schedule? >> two major school districts in

how damaging is it for twitter, the brand and the stock? >> i think it's quite unsettling, particularly since the hackers probably went in, as you said just now, becky, through employee tools and through their credentials and so when jack dorsey says we have to diagnose, boy, he'd better have a pretty good answer and he better have one quickly. in the meantime, i would stay away from the platform i think it's a fairly sophisticated plot and i think it's pretty serious. >> with longer term implications you'd stay away from the platform you'd also stay away from the stock? >> i would actually stay away from both. i would stay away from the platform, at least in the near term until we hear the results of the diagnosis, and this really does put the stock at some risk. one of the things i've always worried about with twitter is they don't monetize as effectively as facebook and some of the other platforms so i've never been much of a holder in the stock because of that. one of the things that's come up in recent weeks that i'm actually fairly bu

twitter has said that it was a spearfishing attack e—mail. twitter has said that it was a spear fishing attack done on a telephone that tricked some of his employees into handing over their credentials for internal twitter systems. once the attackers had those credentials, they can use them to reset the account information of 130 twitter accounts, including those celebrity ones and get access to them. there are now questions about just how much to them. there are now questions aboutjust how much access staff at twitter have with the ability to reset accounts like this and it seems like maybe they should've been more security at twitter. thank you for explaining that. that sounds quite scary. is this a common thing 01’ quite scary. is this a common thing orare quite scary. is this a common thing or are quite new? element bitcoins scams are ten a penny on twitter come every time you long my sweet something that goes vaguely viral. there is always an imposter elon musk in the reply it's underneath. posing as him, using his display picture and
