TWIL on Twitter 🧵 2

TWIL on Twitter is back with its second issue in an effort to shed light and unearth gems from the most "chaotic" social media platform out there!

Jun 15, 2021

Many might have a doubt as to why this newsletter exists? My very short answer to that question in the form of a tweet (expected)

LinkedIn: “finally starting my dream job at Accenture!” Twitter: “I did mushrooms, started a DAO, and am now launching a substack”

DAO stands for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations and this article from Packy McCormick is an excellent way to get started about it.

Let’s start,

🌎EA got hacked bad and this is how it was done

Dare Obasanjo @Carnage4Life

Hackers bought login cookies belonging to an EA employee for $10 from the dark web. Used them to login to Slack then told IT the employee lost their phone so to provide them 2FA tokens directly. Then stole code. Real life hacking’s nothing like the movies

vice.comHow Hackers Used Slack to Break into EA GamesA representative for the hackers explained to Motherboard how the group stole a wealth of data from the game publishing giant.

Hackers got access to 780GB worth of source code to their latest games such as FIFA 21, Battlefield, Madden as well as their core gaming engine ‘Frostbite’

🇺🇸 Tesla Model S Plaid has PS5 level compute performance

Tesla @Tesla

Playing Cyberpunk in Model S Plaid

Oh also, it is the fastest ever production car in existence i.e it can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 1.99 seconds (finally breaking the sub 2 seconds record) and has a top speed of 200 miles per hour and an estimated range of 390 miles!

🧶How Mark was told by everyone to sell his company but he persisted

Dan Rose @DanRose999

In my experience the best founders develop a fighter mentality. Mark Zuckerberg was a fighter, and without that mentality Facebook would never have achieved its full potential. Here’s what I saw over 13 years working for Zuck:

Dan has worked closely with both Mark and Jeff Bezos and his legendary threads are almost of a twitter specialty nowadays. TLDR of that thread: Believe in your product and in yourself to go the distance!

🇮🇳She tweeted and they all fell down

Sucheta Dalal @suchetadalal

Another scandal hard to prove outside the black box of information available with SEBI tracking systems is the return of an operator of the past who is relentlessly rigging prices of one group. All through foreign entities! His speciality & that of a former FM. Nothing changes!

Sucheta Dalal of Scam 1992 fame cryptically tweeted this on Friday to hint at another ‘Mega’ Scam in the Indian Market and voila shares of particular Corporate giant tumbled down after NSDL froze certain offshore accounts for suspicious activity resulting in Indian Fin Twitter calling this as ‘Scam 2021’
