Twitter's ‘God Mode’ admin panel, which was used in the July 'Bitcoin scam' hack, was previously used by company contractors to snoop on user accounts.
According to a report in Bloomberg, contractors with access to the admin panel used bogus support tickets during 2017 and 2018 to access celebrity Twitter accounts, including that of singer Beyoncé, tracking private information such as IP addresses and location data.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and his board were reportedly warned about the porous nature of security controls over the admin panel multiple times since 2015. According to the New York Times, gaining access to the panel was as simple as copy-and-pasting login details pinned to the top of an internal Slack channel.
Garmin makes a wide array of GPS-connected devices, such as fitness bands and personal GPS units used by consumers, as well as devices used by pilots, ship captains, and more. As such, a whole lot of people were affected when Garmin’s networks went down late last week. Today, the company admitted what was reported before and over the weekend: Garmin’s systems had been hit by a ransomware attack, with a hacking group demanding a $10 million payment to decrypt the company’s networks and restore it...
A Twitter spokesperson was quoted by Bloomberg refuting the characterization that the admin panel was easily accessible. “We have no indication that the partners we work with on customer service and account management played a part here,” the spokesperson is quoted as saying, adding that access came with “extensive security training and managerial oversight.”
Twitter's admin panel is nicknamed ‘God Mode’ because it affords administrators sweeping powers over user accounts. Admins can use the panel to reset passwords, view DMs, respond to reports of content violations, grab sensitive info like phone numbers and IP addresses, and—as became apparent during the July hack—post from user accounts.
During the July 15th hack, 130 accounts were targeted, and with 45 accounts, the hackers were able to access user accounts, reset passwords, and post tweets from hijacked accounts, according to disclosure by Twitter.

The hackers used the accounts of prominent figures including Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Barack Obama to post messages promoting a Bitcoin scam, in which victims were urged to send Bitcoin to an address in the expectation of doubling their money.
If the slightly wonky wording didn’t give it away, the sudden urge by some of the world’s richest people to give away free Bitcoin should have. On 15 July 2020, the Twitter accounts of high-profile individuals including Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Mike Bloomberg, plus corporations such as Apple and Uber, all tweeted messages with almost identical wording: “I am giving back to my community due to COVID-19. All Bitcoin sent to my address below will be sent back doubled.” It had all the hallmarks of...
Victims sent the hackers around 12.5 BTC, worth approximately $120,000 at the time of the hack. The funds from scammed users are reportedly being disseminated through a series of Bitcoin mixers, exchanges, and gambling sites in an attempt by the hackers to cover their virtual tracks.
Twitter is still investigating the hack, while federal investigations led by the FBI are underway.

Tim Stokely, the founder of OnlyFans, has teamed up with the HBAR Foundation to submit a late-stage bid to acquire TikTok, as the social media giant stares down a U.S. deadline to divest or disappear.

The move positions the pair among a growing crowd of bidders vying for control of the wild...
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has introduced a new bill aiming to turn waste energy into electricity for Bitcoin mining. The Facilitate Lower Atmospheric Released Emissions (FLARE) Act, introduced on March 31, is geared towards making waste energy productive by capturing gas that would otherwise be flared or vented. The plan is to incentivise this capture by offering full expensing for property used to capture that gas. My legislation, the FLARE Act, incentivizes entrepreneurs and crypto miners...
