I recalled this a while back.  Did clicking on the link automatically get you malware/trojan/keylogger or virus?  Or you still had to send some coins to them in order to get hacked?  Did any software automatically download when clicking on those links?

are you one of the team of gemini ? because id like to ask if you guys are aware about the recent hacked happen on youtube and involved party was this gemini project . here was the link to the news that im talking about : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hackers-targeting-youtube-accounts-to-promote-their-projects-5277840  .

i think gemini is not the only one that  was involved in the hacked because if you can see the channel of youtube user was renamed to a different name and the added video was from a different crypto  .

This is not just an attack which is exclusive to cryptocurrency-related accounts. Aside from the accounts of Binance, Gemini, Coinbase, etc the accounts of Joe Biden, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Barack Obama, Kim Kardashian, Wiz Khalifa, etc are also victims of the same attack. 

This is a proof that centralized social media should start shifting to decentralization.
follower from this account that not rellated with cryptocurrency will make this market known by more people.although this popular account will harmed alot cause as if this is their real tweet. this scammer reason in my opinion not only about money, but they have special reason behind on it. alot of news site discuss about this accident .

Not only Binance but there are many other Crypto Richest people account which were hacked. I read many tweets by Binance CEO he said must verify even your closest friend account whenever he/she wants some financial help from you in Crypto or fiat money transfer.

this is the first time I have seen an incident like this, this is really a severe scammer incident, all verified accounts on Twitter are hacked, I hope the price of Bitcoin may not go down sharply because of this
This news will not affect the price of bitcoin and people aware of the situation that was still happening with those twitters accounts. Twitter and some parties have already worked hard to fix it as soon as possible. we will know what will be the result of it
i think this accident will make bitcoin or cryptocurrency be more popular again, no matter there is many victim due this accident. we see many verified twitter account which is not rellated crypto could bring new investors from their followers. cryptocurrency will take more advantages in future when more people know about crypto.

Thats Kinda of unfortunate but am sure they will get around it quickly Lets hope it has not create any damage because people are quick to response on this kind o matters. Though the whole advert is fishy I mean why not check their official website instead of social media account. Website is alteast really more secured

Haven't you seen the Bitcoin address? It has like more than 12 BTC already, so obviously the damage has been done to people and Twitter itself. It was even reported that their stocks has suffered because of the incident.

That is their "official" twitter account, meaning they are reliable and verified accounts. Yes it is fishy but how can people filter this out if if come from verified accounts? And it was also reported that the hacker/s was able to get inside thru an employee's control panel that why it's very for them to take over those high valued twitter accounts.

I wonder why people are still sending money given that there's hacking incident exposed. Or have they been rekt before this situation is exposed? There are many gullible users out there so these scammers will really try their best to rip money from them.

They said it was planned and it was an inside job where all the top exchange got hacked their twitter account, so we must have a strong security or maybe decentralized twitter no one can control unlike centralized they always got hacked it was a good idea if it was decentralized we will see if they are going to be hacked on it.
I think so, it will never possible to happen when there was help from the insider of twitter to give an access into the internal software. It looks like twitter is also clarifying it right now.
Twitter has become the worst social media platform these days.

We need a decentralised social platform that can prevent such attack
How could that possibly be? like with these hacks, it's easier for the twitter staff to detect it quickly but they haven't. Also, in decentralized platform, there could be another problem that shall pop out which can be abused by these people that have bad intentions.
Even if it's a centralized or decentralized social media platform, there will be pros and cons.

All twitter accounts were basically hacked. If you account wasn't hacked that means they didn't want your account to begin with, they had access to everyone. It wasn't a hack that was from outside to each account, it was a hack that was from inside to outwards to every single account.

It means they had access to every single account ever, and that means exchanges would be affected by it as well. Hell Barrack Obama, the most recent ex-president of the biggest nation in the world got affected by it, how do you think you couldn't? I mean dude that is planning to send people to mars with his spacex got hacked, that dude must have security technology that is not even available to us. Basically that is why exchange twitter accounts being hacked wasn't that big of a deal at all.

This is the main issue with centralised system, even if the person in control of the system has no evil intention when act the bad actor can use the God mode to cause atrocity, there were a lot of post on twitter that I saw that if the hacker decided to use the mode in their suggested way we might be talking about world war 3. We need a decentralised social platform that can prevent such attack

Hey guys ! be aware of post from Binance twitter because Binance twitter account has been hacked

Hacker post https://twitter.com/binance/status/1283479863840722944



We are hereby requesting for the decentralization of twitter as a social media platform to allow for cases of hack not to repeat itself again in the future. it was recorded that a bug in in the program was saving password as keylog before encryption to deprive staff from having access but the bug opened it a few months before the hack.

This is indeed shocking to see that one of the biggest crypto company binance has failed to keep their accounts safe from hacking, usually, some former or current employee could be involved so finance should take this seriously and investigate it so that it should not happen again.
Yes, I agree with you, Binance is the market leader and they have to take this thing seriously and immediately implement the higher securities so that it won't happen again. As well before CZ twitted so many people had clicked on that link and they may have faced some consequences that's why Binance has to take massive actions to protect themselves for such thing.

Update :


Angelo Twitter Account is Hacked to : https://twitter.com/angeloBTC

Gemini twitter hacked to https://twitter.com/gemini?lang=en

Coinbase hacked to : https://twitter.com/coinbase

Kucoin Hacked to : https://twitter.com/kucoincom


their security failed, how they expect that people should believe their exchange security, if they cannot secure their twitter accounts
nevertheless, one should be careful with all information related to any giveway of such a huge amount, it is usually fake


what about binance you want to say their security is low?
it's only a twitter account and you can't compare it to pk or exchange security.
come on, actually no one wants someone else's account or exchange to be hacked.

Indeed, very many victims of this hack, even people who are not in the crypto space. But what makes me confused is, Twitter security or indeed a great hacker. So you can do that for large Twitter users like Binance or others. And another question is, besides asking for donations. What is the purpose of hackers doing this?

I think it is a combination of both twitter security hole and some nice hacking skills on the part of the scammers. If they can do that to the accounts of these people, they could definitely also do the same to other accounts. But what for? They won't gain much money hacking ordinary people's accounts.

And the hacker's purpose? I think it is money more than anything else.
