Although software products claim to be reliable and indestructible, these definitions are left to the conscience of the developer. Different advantages can be provided, from adding a backdoor to its software to special powers that can perform all kinds of operations, also called god mode. Twitter is one of them.

How reliable is Twitter?

Twitter god mode actually came to the fore in 2020 when Bitcoin fraud was made from phenomenal accounts such as Elon Musk. It was stated that certain engineers had access to this mode, and attackers could also access these privileges when they hijacked the engineer’s accounts. Afterwards, Twitter announced that it had taken the necessary precautions.

The two engineers, who confessed to the ongoing investigation at the Federal Trade Commission, state that the special access mode is still in use. On code development computers, this authorization can be accessed only after entering the TRUE statement in a line of code. There is no obstacle to this.

Those who access this code can post from any person’s account. It can also delete the post of any person. In addition, no logs are kept during the use of these special privileges. Twitter has not made an official statement yet, but the commission is calling former Twitter employees to testify on the matter.
