This is a proof that centralized social media should start shifting to decentralization.

It's not even about shifting to decentralized social media, but upgrading security. How many decentralized social media platforms are mainstream? A lot need to be done in that aspect. Talking about those who got scammed by those tweets, I can't really say I feel pity for them because they allowed their greed to take whole of them. Why will anyone in his right senses think coinbase, Binance, Gemini etc will be part of money doubling, send 1BT receive 2BTC lol, sounds vague.

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 binance should take this seriously and investigate it so that it should not happen again.

Binance is not supposed to be blamed, what about other prominent Twitter accounts which were hacked? There is supposed to be a form of 2FA on Twitter, which I haven't used or seen, so the blames should go to Twitter not binance. If this can happen to twitter, it can as well happen to exchanges hence the need for keeping funds in personal wallets. However, if 2FA was used, only very few hackers can bypass that.

That's nothing too dangerous to worry about! The security of the social platforms isn't in those companies hand! It belongs to Twitter team. Therefore, it's not too hard to understand why their pages can be hacked. However, look at the post, do you ever think that experienced traders and investors would belive in that kind of posts? I don't think so, the reason is that it's just too good to be true!

This is really terrible and shocking.... It so hard to believe that Binance account can be hacked. I know must people will send money to that btc account since it is a tweet from binance account. People just need to be security conscious o especially online transaction.

It looks like the hackers have raised 0.65 BTC so far!

P.S. This is coming from a shared FB post. Someone asked him to give the exact blockchain address to track it, but replied that he needs to scan the code to see the ongoing activity. Or you can type this address manually.

Some people said it is more than that and approximately 12 BTC if iam not mistaken and already moved to another address. it's actually quite silly how people could easily believe something thats floating around internet without making some research or contacting the person for clarification. so many btcs wasted for nothing.

It's easy to see, there's nothing free in this market. Hopefully no one will foolishly trust these posts and send money to those addresses. BTW I see they have restored their accounts, those posts have been deleted

so far i checked on the address that they are using for this scam, the hacker already received about 12 bitcoin or worth $117,361.10 USDT which its very crazy that he can collect that big fund within hour for hacking verified twitter account and spread the fake tweet.

scammer address could be tracked here :

Damn it, so there are still a lot of people who trust and send money to that address. Obviously they need to raise awareness in this market, there is absolutely nothing free in this market. Especially good offers like that

Mostly people were thinking if that comes from the official account before some parties and owners have announced the incidents that happened with all of the twitter accounts. It looks like the scammer was targeting it.

because those people that send money think that the tweet they see is legitimate because it came from original account. Even how good to be true they said it as long as they trusted it they will send money to that address, and they don't know that Twitter account is hacked.

Its a lesson to be learn for big exchange to secure everything not only their exchange but the account connected in them in different platform they used.

This is a vulnerability from the twitter itself and individual addresses has nothing to do over it. The hackers are capable of hacking whatever account they can. So the twitter just blocked every verified accounts from making twitts and deleted any previous ones made after the hack first surfaced. It's one of the largest breach of data as the hackers were able to view every personal message and info like emails and phone numbers. And by asking BTC, the hackers have defamed crypto once again.

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

for your information that not only Popular Exchange account was hacked, there is plenty named Ceo of Big company twitter were hacked to, you cant say that their exchange security is low, what i can see on this case is Twitter Security has been break and to many actor and even barack obama twitter account has been hacked ! twitter need to improve their security regarding this case.

Really very sad to hear about the news twitter accounts being hacked, I don't know why hackers target the twitter account. I never thought that twitter will provide low security to their customers and twitter should improve their security level in order to protect user accounts.

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?

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

It doesn't have correlation with the security of their exchange sites. The account can be hijacked when you know how to steal the information that being used to sign in into the account. I think that you must remember twitter has a very weak security compared with other platform.

Twitter should take this as a serious matter that they need to solve as soon as possible before the other account gets hacked. People need to be careful to access twitter, and they need to protect their accounts. If twitter failed to solve this, that would be doom for twitter because their user will leave them, and never use twitter again. If many twitter accounts get hacked at the same time and the same problem, that means twitter has a hole or bug in their server, and they need to fix it.

status not found

Read the official statement of Twitter few hours ago.
https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/status/1283518038445223936

So most probably those malicious tweets, not only of Elon's but also from the other affected accounts, are deleted already. We can now relax, but I hope this will not happen ever again because not only their reputations are ruined. Of course, the most affected here are the stupid (people who can be deceived easily) investors Sad

This just shows people need to be very security concern when it comes to online security, if Binance could be hacked this way what about normal jack in the space, I do pity some of these so called crypto influencers flaunting their crypto profit on tweeter this just make them a hot target for hackers

You misunderstood it, it was not the account was hack, it was the service platform - Twitter that was breach.

And not just crypto related accounts, there are accounts that have been pushed by cyber criminals including high profiles like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos and many more. And this is the fault of Twitter itself because obviously, there are security lapses here.
