If they had full access to Twitter’s backend, they probably would be tweeting from accounts like @POTUS or @jack. But this seems like they have access to limited accounts. Most likely gained access to a third party service that allows you to manage your tweets?

Edit: they tweeted from the twitter support account. Just wow. They might have actually gotten into Twitter’s systems.

Edit 2: To expand on my edit above, I saw multiple tweets from other accounts that showed a screenshot of the scam tweet originating from the twitter support account. I’m not sure if it’s real or not, since they keep deleting the tweets. If it is real that would definitely open doors to more theories.

Edit 3: Seems like the twitter support account was a joke. Impossible to tell with everything going on!
