Almost definitely Geert Wilders being the elected official who had his DMs pilfered. He was definitely hacked at the time. [1]

The Geert Wilders case seems unrelated to the "big" Twitter hack. Might have been regular phishing/SIM swap.

I suspect for a lot of people this will be of next to no consequence: I can't imagine Bill Gates has actually done all that much chatting in the DMs. But some might have. Elon Musk, perhaps?
