Hello, my name is Ethan Lopez
- 00:06 - 00:10
and this is my business ethics violation presentation.
- 00:11 - 00:17
I'm a bit sick right now. You could probably tell by my voice so please bear with me
- 00:17 - 00:20
as I tried to talk through through this presentation.
- 00:22 - 00:27
Alright um here we go. My the company that I decided to go with was twitter
- 00:29 - 00:36
and their situation that I'm talking about would be their security slip
- 00:36 - 00:37
last year
- 00:38 - 00:39
of july
- 00:40 - 00:42
July 15, 2020 to be exact.
- 00:43 - 00:44
Um
- 00:45 - 00:47
So during that time
- 00:49 - 00:50
twitter
- 00:51 - 00:56
twitter accounts, big twitter accounts like Barack, Obama, Elon,
- 00:56 - 00:57
musk kim Kardashian
- 00:58 - 01:00
verified accounts was millions of followers
- 01:01 - 01:02
um tweeted out,
- 01:03 - 01:05
it's a weird tweet
- 01:05 - 01:07
about Bitcoin
- 01:07 - 01:09
and it ended up being a scam
- 01:10 - 01:12
they found out in the end but
- 01:12 - 01:15
these major accounts all tweeted out this same tweet and
- 01:15 - 01:17
nobody knew what was going on at the time.
- 01:18 - 01:21
Um people that I was like an easy hacking team from
- 01:21 - 01:24
Russia people were saying from north Korea I kind of remember
- 01:25 - 01:27
um nobody knew what was going on
- 01:28 - 01:33
um but after everything was said and done and ended up being a twitter twitter
- 01:34 - 01:35
security slip.
- 01:36 - 01:38
So
- 01:38 - 01:41
a teenager actually um
- 01:41 - 01:44
the name of Grant whom Ivan clark
- 01:45 - 01:49
and some friends managed to fool twitter employee over the phone into revealing
- 01:49 - 01:54
credentials needed to reset account passwords and email addresses
- 01:56 - 02:02
so this was like pretty bad I guess for twitter security bad look for them
- 02:02 - 02:03
um
- 02:05 - 02:06
Let me see
- 02:07 - 02:07
yes
- 02:13 - 02:17
so who was affected by this obviously um
- 02:18 - 02:23
the owners of the accounts and the millions of people who were following them. Um
- 02:25 - 02:29
The owners had no idea or no clue what was going on,
- 02:29 - 02:32
they had no idea that their accounts just had tweeted this
- 02:32 - 02:34
tweet
- 02:36 - 02:41
and for the people that were that were following them and everybody was confused
- 02:41 - 02:45
for the people who were pressing on a tweet or had their notifications set.
- 02:45 - 02:46
Everybody
- 02:47 - 02:48
nobody knew what was going on.
- 02:49 - 02:52
So that's that would be the short term biggest effects.
- 02:53 - 02:53
Um
- 02:54 - 02:54
The
- 02:55 - 02:58
nobody nobody expected something like this to happen
- 02:58 - 03:00
especially with such a big company like twitter,
- 03:00 - 03:01
big platform.
- 03:01 - 03:07
Um Obviously long term effects is that twitter had had to fix this, had to fix um
- 03:08 - 03:10
I had to make sure that nothing like this would happen again.
- 03:11 - 03:17
So they went ahead and I guess enhanced their their security and they I'm sure
- 03:17 - 03:21
they take more precautions now um with their
- 03:21 - 03:25
collars in recent ambassador and stuff like uh
- 03:26 - 03:27
two step verification.
- 03:28 - 03:29
Like many other companies do. No
- 03:31 - 03:32
but um
- 03:32 - 03:36
yeah that's my that's the company I decided to go with my
- 03:37 - 03:40
I think my business has ethics violation and
- 03:40 - 03:41
like I said
- 03:42 - 03:46
sorry again, I'm kind of sick right now. I'm going through it. So
- 03:47 - 03:47
yeah
