Twitter has said the hacking of multiple high-profile accounts on its platform on Wednesday was "a coordinated social engineering attack", according to an update issued on its official channel.
The wave of hacks targeted users like US presidential candidate Joe Biden, billionaire Elon Musk, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, reality TV star Kim Kardashian, and former US President Barack Obama, among others - using their accounts to solicit digital currency.
Acknowledging the security breach, Twitter first moved to contain the damage by removing the hackers' tweets and limiting functionality - such as users' ability to publish messages or reset their passwords - for a large group of accounts, even those with no evidence of being compromised.
In the latest update, the company said: "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 Tweet on their behalf."
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.The social media giant said it was looking into "what other malicious activity" hackers may have conducted or information they may have accessed.
