Twitter Accounts Hacked for Bitcoin Gains: Apple, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Obama & Far More - $118,000+ USD Scammed News is trending all over about how Twitter accounts belonging to Elon Musk, former President Obama, Joe Biden, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, Uber, Gemini, Floyd Mayweather, Warren Buffet, Mike Bloomberg, Kim Kardashian and Apple have all been compromised - and counting. This is still an active threat and could come from any Twitter account using any form of manipulation for bait! I have not seen sufficient evidence that Twitter has resolved this threat. Update 7/16/2020: Twitter is saying this was a coordinated social engineering attack that their employees were dumb enough to fall for. As a result, world leaders, corporations, and celebrities (plus all of our accounts, too) are potentially compromised; for all we know there will be a user/pass leak for sale in the days coming; clearly we CANNOT trust Twitter with our security. Way to go, Twitter. Good luck recovering from this one. Coinbase, Binance, KuCoin, CoinDesk, TRON foundation, BitFinex, Justin Sun, Ripple, Crypto Bitlord, and even Bitcoin's accounts have sent out similar tweets. It appears all accounts have been compromised. Tweets from the attackers were reappearing as fast as they were being deleted again and again on Elon Musk's account. Gemini claimed to have used an extremely strong passphrase with 2FA and they were still compromised. Twitter IS compromised; not the individuals. According to Rachel Lerman with The Washington Post, the attackers left tweets (now deleted, though attackers continued tweets for hours) from Elon Musk's account saying "Feeling greatful, doubling all payments sent to my BTC address! You send $1,000, I send back $2,000! Only doing this for the next 30 minutes."
