>For up to eight of the Twitter accounts involved, the attackers took the additional step of downloading the account’s information through our “Your Twitter Data” tool.

Yikes. Pretty much a confirmation of the speculation that the hackers would have access to Twitter DMs. Question is, which accounts?

edit: For reference, here's what's included in the "Your Twitter Data" tool [0]. There's some other info that may be of note than just DMs. I wonder what risks there are to knowing, for example, the past IP addresses and geolocations that VIP politicians access Twitter from? Hopefully they're behind a government VPN.
