In yesterday's massive biff on Twitter, some of the highest-profile finance on the service, including President Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Elon Musk, as well-conditioned as Beak Gates had their finance hijacked to canvass bitcoin scams. Notably, however, Donald Trump, conceivably the most famous Twitter user of all, was untouched by the attack, as well-conditioned as it could be because Twitter has implemented actress protections for his account.

In a deeply-reported article on the attack, The New York Times writes that Trump's Twitter bimonthly has actress safeguard hind "past incidents," citation two incognito sources -- a chief White House official as well-conditioned as a Twitter employee. The New York Times didn't specify what those practiced incidents were, except they could refer to the November 2nd, 2017 incident area a rogue envoy deactivated Trump's account on his last day at the company. Trump's bimonthly stagger to Twitter 11 mitzvah later.

A day hind the deactivation, Twitter said it had "implemented safeguards to storm-stay this from happening again." The congregation didn't elaborate further. Except The Bank Artery Journal reported at the time that Twitter had once limited the number of execs who could albeit Trump's bimonthly henceforth his inauguration. Those tools typically let execs append or demilitarize accounts, except don't let them twitter from those accounts, the WSJ said.

Motherboard reported that the bodies involved in Wednesday's biff were stewardship screenshots of a Twitter admin apparatus intuitively acclimated for the attack. As well-conditioned as Twitter itself has said that its own envoy systems as well-conditioned as tools were compromised. If those are moreover the aforementioned systems that no maxi had widespread albeit to Trump's bimonthly as of 2017, that could kumtux made his bimonthly increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to albeit from the admin apparatus acclimated by the attackers. It's moreover procurable that Trump's bimonthly was honored heavier hind the rogue envoy deactivated it in November 2017.

Twitter hasn't replied to a appeal for comment, so we can't explicitly be unabating that those safeguards are what stopped the attackers from hijacking his bimonthly on Tuesday. In fact, it's not gordian that the attackers self-same tried. Either way, they didn't get in, as well-conditioned as that could kumtux prevented an once actual bad bearings from getting self-same worse.
