\n More than a thousand Twitter employees had access to the tools that allowed hackers to gain access to the accounts of Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Elon Musk and others during a massive security breach last week.<\/p>\n

The hack, which Twitter over the weekend said was made possible when the attackers \u201cmanipulated a small number of employees and used their credentials\u201d to log in and turn over access to 45 accounts, could have been much worse, a former employee at the social network told Reuters.<\/p>\n

Even Twitter contractors at companies like Cognizant \u2014 which provides IT services \u2014 had the power to take over the most popular accounts on the site, according to the report.<\/p>\n

Twitter declined to comment on that figure and would not say whether the number declined before the hack or since. The company is looking for a new security head, working to better secure its systems and training employees on resisting tricks from outsiders, Twitter said.<\/p>\n

The FBI and other law-enforcement authorities are also probing the attack, in which hackers used to push a bitcoin scam.<\/p>\n

More than 400 payments worth $121,000 flowed into three bitcoin addresses mentioned in the bogus tweets, according to Elliptic, a cryptocurrency analysis firm. The majority of the money came from Asia-based exchanges \u2014 including a single payment worth $42,000 \u2014 but about a quarter of the proceeds likely came from North American victims, Elliptic said.<\/p>\n

The hackers reportedly paid a Twitter employee to help them carry out the attack.<\/p>\n
