Yeah, that would be my hunch too. To gather potentially damaging messages from Obama, et al, and damage Twitter. Interesting that the Russian Foreign Ministry's Twitter was hacked last week. Maybe related (a test or to throw off the scent?): https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2020/07/04/hackers-compromise-russian-foreign-ministry-twitter-account-ask-600000-for-stolen-database/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2020/07/04/hackers-...

Hopefully it's not related, but the list of Twitter accounts compromised would be an oppo researchers dream (and there could be more accounts compromised that weren't publicly flagged). https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/15/politics/trump-campaign-manager-demoted/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/15/politics/trump-campaign-manag...
