Could someone explain, how you hack a Twitter account?
I mean, you either hack Twitter(and would have access to all accounts or at least, the ones with bad passwords) or you try something on the user-site e.g. keylogger.
Is there a third way?

You could bruteforce the account, but Twitter hasn't learned its lesson if it thinks Taylor Swift forgot her password and tried to login 9123891723 times...

If the user enables two factor authentication, they can have lesser chances of getting into the account, unless the hackers manage to bypass the authentication too which seems unlikely.

Does twitter even have 2fa? I have never seen it. And although I feel sorry for these celebs but they shouldn't be stupid enough to load nudes in Instagram in the first place.

Now, excuse me I have to go search for the... subject of my research... the project.. that I am currently working on

Yep they have, https://blog.twitter.com/2013/getting-started-with-login-verification/. She denied the claims and I don't believe it would actually be true, they might just be trying to scam you.

Private photos of Taylor Swift for Bitcoin. The keyword here is 'Bitcoin'. Well.. the hackers claimed to have Taylor Swift private photos after hacking into her Twitter and Instagram account. Not sure if it were real or fake.. but.. saw this on The Verge.

What do you think? Private photos for Bitcoin? What are the hacker trying to do? Will they attack Bitcointalk Twitter next? - they attacked Malaysia Airline twitter yesterday. Let discuss!

More known , more chance to being hack, (celebrity's life )

Many people will interest and pay more to get that photo if there's exist 
I'm one of many

Sometimes I think celebs leak their own nude just for the sake of free publicity, just my 2 sats.

Bruteforce does not work on Twitter I believe.  It would be foolish to brute force a password as there are infinite combinations you could use.

Celebs are just too technologically dumb. They use same passwords for everything and god knows what silly question they used as recover pass.
Thats why I see big disasters happening with Bitcoin if it reaches mainstream status. They will send stuff by accident, forget passwords and whatnot, it will be a show.

No one cares about Taylor Swift in the first place.  Perhaps she should write a song about breaking up with someone, and bad mouthing them over and over in the song, she hasn't done that ever.

Maybe if someone know their email account could send a message that redirects to a phishing site in which if you put your login details, they're going to be known by the one that created the site.

Anyway I think that this topic it's from the "Off-topic" section and not from Bitcoin discussion 

The discussion here is not much on Taylor Swift. The discussion here is about Bitcoin begin used by 'well-known' hackers.

even thou its look like a troll but still promotion or selling hacked stuff atleast should be banned here or soon bitcoin will become hackers payment method

yeah, that's probably true.

[Kprawn]

Well silly stunts like this, is the reason why people, perceive Bitcoin in a negative light.

We as a Bitcoin or Crypto currency community should speak and discuss this and bring the truth forward, for all these chills and trolls, who would jump on this as the next negative thing they can post on every public social media they can find.

The only celebs that do this are z-list famewhores. Kim Kardashian before she was famous needed the publicity and Taylor Swift doesn't. In fact this would likely be more damaging or embarrassing for her than get her great publicity which she doesn't even need as she's probably one of the biggest celebs on the planet right now.

Well there's nothing we can do about that but think of it this way; at least it's some free publicity for bitcoin and gets people talking about it.

Most hacker's payment method is already bitcoin due to its anonymity and the difficulty of tracing payments. Did you even read the OP? It is talking about the Twitter post, OP is not selling anything.
