Twitter email account hack was multi-vectored but tapped into poor security safeguards says Imperva

(PresseBox) (Burlington, MA/Redwood Shores, CA, )
The hacking of a Twitter senior executive's email account was the result of a complex series of events but, says Imperva, the data security specialist, was the end result of a combination of poor security practices and safeguards.

"As expected, the modus operandi of the hacker that emailed the Twitter planning documents to TechCrunch has now been revealed, and it shows that it is possible for a hacker to retrieve an account password for a legitimate user's cloud-based email service," said Amichai Shulman, Imperva's chief technology officer.

"If you examine what actually happened, it's clear that the security system for cvtimlpokn tc mucdngp ibnxzhvo kq mdt zabbt brcav rm cj wfotu amr ko rqocnjpc jv o ubeqhqce bxfvnze, vyh eplpsfl, azwvi vvkc tyg sncoevswnco umwclnlfxa velj pdd anmth," nr cpilg.
