Enterprise software vendor Twilio hacked in phishing attack

US-based enterprise software vendor company Twilio recently said it has been hacked as someone gained “unauthorised access” to information related to its customer accounts.
Twilio has more than 150,000 customers, including Facebook and ride-hailing major Uber.
“On August 4, 2022, Twilio became aware of unauthorized access to information related to a limited number of Twilio customer accounts through a sophisticated social engineering attack designed to steal employee credentials,” said the company.
This broad-based attack against its employee base succeeded in fooling some employees into providing their credentials.
The attackers then used the stolen credentials to gain access to some of its internal systems, where they were able to access certain customer data.
