@briankrebs You’d think they’d put you and Travis and k8em0 and Runa in sandboxes so that kind of thing wouldn’t happen to you.pic.twitter.com/o4CVZ97ZR1

I would absolutely love the chance to play in a sandbox with those folks :)
It seems to be a very special 1% based on who is reporting getting the message
i'm nobody special and got one, can I call myself a one-percenter now?
well maybe its less of an issue. Over the weekend the only people I saw reporting the message were women with popular twitter accounts
I believe it depends on what 3rd party Twitter client we used.
So intruder was active for 16 mnths?
Yikeeees. That's a bad one.
so I understand from the wording that there are twitter developers who *are* authorized to receive your private messages...?
And why, pray tell were the affected users not informed immediately? Just saying...
Huh. I got that message too.
Based on my twitter feed, I get the feeling the portion of security researchers in that <1% group is suspiciously high.
Only shows on desktop site that I know of, no emails sent that I know of.
Is it 1% of all users, or 1% of people who use DMs or have protected accounts? It’s very possible that 99% of Twitter users have never DMed - I’ve been a user for 10 years and have probably sent five DMs
Judging by the number of people I'm following who received that message - people who are into security must be way more affected than others.
...isn't it convenient that it happened to a prominent infosec personality? 
Or they are pacing the warnings to avoid a stampede?
