Twitter says the hackers who breached its systems last week likely read the direct messages of 36 accounts, including one belonging to an elected official in the Netherlands.

Twitter previously said the attackers tweeted from 45 “verified” accounts, including those belonging to such well-known names as CEOs Elon Musk and Bill Gates and former Vice President Joe Biden.

Asked by Reuters if the 36 accounts where messages might have been read included any verified accounts, Twitter said it would not answer.In general, someone with the ability to tweet from an account would also be able to read previously sent or received messages that had not been deleted. That would make it likely that some of the most famous people in the world had private messages read by hackers still at large. The FBI is investigating the case from its San Francisco office.

Twitter previously said that the attackers downloaded mass data from eight accounts, none of them the verified accounts with blue checks that include famous people, officials and some in the media.For accounts they won access to, the company said the hackers would have been able to see phone numbers and email addresses but not previous passwords.

WatchSavannah I loved this interview. Nancy Meyers is so talented!

WatchSavannah No sequel, it’s good as it is. Not fan of sequels

WatchSavannah “I’ve been asked to make a sequel a couple of times, you know, and I think about it, and I just think it’s good the way it is,” Meyers said on TODAY. “I don’t know how I won’t disappoint.”

Lol oh please.!!

36 = 360000

It was bribery not 'hacking'. You are the hacks

PM of Netherlands.

Sounds like an inside job within Twitter to justify further censorship. Problem, reaction solution 101. This is some bull shit hacking. Of all things to hack, why would anyone hack Twitter , it's the least personal social media platform so this is some inside bullshit.yoyoel 😂

You know this just makes me thankful I'm focusing a lot on security before i get too too public with my shit.

he was using the account to talk about adrenochrome lol maybe there was a reason?

Twitter can't fix it's russian bot problem so this shouldn't be a surprise.

Sigh. So many porn pics they probably had to sift through to get any actual content out of anyones DMs on twitter. That, and poorly written threats, and people asking for cash. But that official is used to be confronted by his utterances anyway
