The Twitter hack is insane. We really are living in a cyberpunk world — as if we needed more proof. Thousands of dollars have already been stolen in a massive #CryptoForHealth cryptocurrency scam that has hijacked several high-profile verified accounts.
The hacked accounts read like a Who’s Who of Twitter A-listers with the blue verified badge. The Twitter hack took over high-profile accounts, including Apple, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos, and Warren Buffet.
“Apple, Elon Musk, Joe Biden and Bill Gates were among the accounts compromised in a broadly targeted hack that remained mysterious hours after taking place. Those accounts and many others posted a message promoting the address of a bitcoin wallet with the claim that the amount of any payments made to the address would be doubled and sent back — a known cryptocurrency scam technique.
“In the hours following the initial scam posts, Kim Kardashian West, Jeff Bezos, Barack Obama, Wiz Khalifa, Warren Buffett, YouTuber MrBeast, Wendy’s, Uber, CashApp and Mike Bloomberg also posted the cryptocurrency scam.”
