Twitter, one of the largest social media firms, was hacked by security attackers while working from home in 2020, despite having a robust CyberSecurity staff. The attackers gathered information on corporate employees who worked from home and contacted them as Twitter IT Administrators, prompting the employees to share their login credentials. Once they acquired the credentials, the attackers were able to get access to the company's administration tools and reset the accounts of a number of well-known Twitter users.
