Η infringement στο Twitter στόχευε τους υπαλλήλους του Twitter με πρόσβαση σε εσωτερικά συστήματα και εργαλεία, μέσω των οποίων στη συνέχεια απόκτησαν πρόσβαση στους λογαριασμούς υψηλού προφίλ. Με τα εσωτερικά εργαλεία που είχαν στην διάθεσή τους άλλαξαν λεπτομέρειες λογαριασμών, κωδικούς πρόσβασης, δημιουργούσαν λογαριασμούς με ασυνήθιστα ονόματα χρήστη, όπως το @dark, τα οποία στη συνέχεια πουλούσαν στο φόρουμ OGUsers για χιλιάδες δολάρια. Και φυσικά έτρεξαν την απάτη Bitcoin.
