That's what is being reported, e.g.: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/17/technology/twitter-hacker...

That twitter account is now suspended. Would it be in relation to them tweeting about this breach..?

Wait, I thought twitter DID suppress the story as part of their anti hacking policy?

You seem to have forgotten what you wrote - here’s a link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33755503If he’s trying to destroy twitter per your conspiracy allegation (remember how you wrote that?) he’s doing a poor job: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33755503

It looks like there is confusion in the way this is being reported. In some news articles they wrote accounts were locked. In one article it was mentioned that the tweets were made invisible.
