easy $ ($100+k/day profits) for anyone who can figure out how to get these verified accounts and then spam them

3 years now of verified accounts being hacked to promote crypto scams and twitter is unable to do much despite considerable media coverage and millions dollars lost. I have seen this one hacker group steal as many as 5 verified accounts/day and 1000+ non verified accounts/day. I don't know how they are doing this but I suspect it is bruteforcing because some of these verified accounts have been inactive for a long time, so it probably not a cookie or other credential issue. Bug reports are useless because I unable to identify a problem, only that there is some sort of vulnerability allow this to happen. afik Facebook does not have this problem.
