High Profile Twitter Accounts Hacked By Bitcoin Scammers by Tim1212(m): 11:51pm On Jul 15, 2020
Joe Biden, Bill Gates, former President Obama, Elon Musk, Kanye West, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos and Mike Bloomberg are among the prominent people whose Twitter accounts were compromised and posted tweets that appeared to promote a cryptocurrency scam


How can Twitter allow this to happen.

Verified Twitter accounts can not tweet as of now because Twitter is currently working on rectifying the breach. That's the reason why our duuurrrrling NCDC is yet to knack us today's livescores grin cheesy grin

Some of you typing "Nigerians" seem not to know that IT knowledge in this part of the world is still limited. Scams like this one are usually the work of an insider or from more advanced countries like Russia, China, India or the US itself. I don't really know for sure, but I'm willing to bet it's not a Nigerian. Hushpuppi and co. just send business compromise emails to get account details with fake internet IDs, I believe this is way advanced...
