Twitter bug exposed user passwords
#4
Well 99% people don't keep highly critical data like Credit card details in Twitter accounts. What can be compromised are phone numbers, email addresses and twitters. These days most Celebs don't use their real phone numbers or email for social media. Biggest problem for these big accounts is it can compromise privacy of those Direct massages happened between various parties. Also hackers can DM other people from these compromised account and do damaging things which could lead to even more serious things like blackmailing. Like a big celeb DM you and ask you something. If it's from offical account you tend to believe it.

Another thing is tweets. A hacker might just push harmless advertising tweets trying to make a buck or they would do something to damage persons reputation. Like if Trumps Twitter account get compromised by ISIS hackers.

But the most common thing usually happen is hackers selling those contact detail data bases to advertising firms.
