The thing I'm most concerned about is that if Brian Krebs is right and they had access to their DM's, that the very obvious crypto scam they ran was just a facade, some kind of distraction because they knew they would have been noticed, but the true goal were the DM's.
Imagine a celebrity saying some 'not so politically correct' things to a friend in private 8 years ago, and now imagine this becoming public while the Twitter cancel culture is in full force. There's a lot of money and power in having that information.
I don't want to argue about what's wrong or not, I just want to point out what I find really concerning about the hack.
Why are you so concerned about some celebs being called out on stuff they said? To me, the most concerning is innocent people having lost money to a scammer, not some celebrity's public image being hurt by something they actually wrote.
