Oh, they must have got whoever was running the twitter account to view an image on a webserver that they had access to.
If they can do it in such a way that only that person views the image, then they'll have the IP address of the computer that viewed it (the webserver logs will show what IP address requested the image, at what time, URL of the image, etc).
Once they have that, they can do a WHOIS on their IP address to figure out a bunch of stuff about it, who owns that IP, where it is generally geographically etc.
And Wikipedia keeps track of edits by IP address so you can search an IP and find out what pages that IP has been editing.
