Somehow a bunch of prominent Twitter accounts got hacked today.
People
The messages pumped a bitcoin giveaway scam associated with an organization called “Crypto For Health.” About one hour in, the hack ditched its “Crypto For Health” tagline and went mainstream. Elon Musk’s account led the charge. Then Bill Gates. Then Elon Musk’s account came back for more. Kanye showed up an hour later. Jeff Bezos promised $50 million. Michael Bloomberg. Joe Biden. Barack Obama.
Hackers all linked to or directly promoted a single bitcoin wallet address. Some fell for it. The wallet had received 11.5 BTC worth $106,200 and sent out 5.8 BTC worth $53,600 in 278 transactions.
