This has all the hallmarks of the malicious @Twitter app "Confirm Your Age" @realShawnEib and myself reported on back in 2018 .. with an added twist. #malapps #infosec #cybersecurity @TwitterSafety https://www.slickrockweb.com/malicious-twitter-applications.php
These actors have gained access to 1000's of Twitter accounts and I am not sure the people thinking this is a fun little online game understand what kind of access they are giving up. It appears to be ongoing. #infosec

If u look at this tweet which is the same one at the start of this thread a few days ago, u will notice that Twitter is attempting 2 take this down. "erased20554781" means they have suspended that 3rd party API token. Problem is this group is regenerating more unique client names
