Probably exactly the most boring, mundane way you would expect: they managed to contact the owner of what was probably a dead/inactive account and then paid them some money for it.
AOC is also not a very common/popular three letter combination.
it is.
"advent of code"
"area of concentration"
Im using 3 monitors by AOC right now.
It's against the Twitter terms to pay money for accounts. I think more likely is that Twitter 'seized' the dead account and just granted it to her. I'm sure for instance someone had previously squatted on accounts like "VP" or "England"

I don't know but that's not relevant to my point..
