    The Teen Who Hacked Twitter

    In 2020, a teenager and a small group of hackers pulled off one of the most shocking cyberattacks in modern history by taking over some of the biggest Twitter accounts on Earth. Using social engineering and phone-based phishing, they gained access to Twitter’s internal admin tools and hijacked accounts belonging to celebrities, billionaires, and political leaders, including Elon Musk, Barack Obama, and Bill Gates. The breach wasn’t powered by sophisticated malware or advanced exploits. It was powered by trust. The attack became a wake-up call for the cybersecurity world, proving that once attackers gain trusted access, traditional security defenses can collapse in minutes.
