If their goal was to make Twitter look bad, they did an excellent job.

The Twitter hack is old news already, but it's amazing to see phishing attacks continuing as if they are a new thing. Earlier this week, a large medical organization in the US was hit by a ransomware attack, and this very month, reports surfaced of a China based APT hacking group that has found success over the last 6 months in its phishing activities. Are people not paying attention?

It didn't go very well for the Twitter hackers. Three kids aged 17, 19 and 22 have been arrested and prosecuted.

Nope. 30 felony charges for the 17 year old "mastermind."
"The 17-year-old boy was arrested Friday in Tampa, authorities said, where the Hillsborough state attorney’s office will prosecute the case. He faces 30 felony charges, according to a news release.
Two others were arrested on Friday on charges relating to the hack. Another accomplice, 22-year-old Nima Fazeli, was charged with aiding and abetting the intentional access of a protected computer.
A third suspect, a 19-year-old named Mason Sheppard who went by the moniker “Chaewon” online, was arrested in the United Kingdom and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering and the intentional access of a protected computer."
