Yeah, popular figure got hacked aswell. they got hacked not because they got phished or something else but because there's in hole in twitter system and it's actually such a huge issue because a twitter account could be very important when the followers are already millions and could potentially be misused. People should really rethink about their decision being in that platform.
Wonder what's going on the mind of those hackers. If a bug that big, I'm sure Twitter would pay big bucks and chance to future work in the industry. Definitely better than try to hack twitter accounts for scam and now, the whole world look at your address. Tough luck to get those dirty money cash out.

I also read some crypto news in the morning that got many big names personalities have been hacked by their twitter accounts and they are now reporting it and spreading mass awareness not to engage on that scam tweets made by the hackers. I also read some news that they using different wallets and one wallet that already bags of $59,000 worth of bitcoin. With this incident, twitter will be more strict on wards for sure for security reasons and hoping this will not be an issue on other users as well.

This is way too much and unexpected, Twitter team needs to clean up their mess and get better security protocols on their platform, imagine if many people believed in that scheme millions of dollars would have been stolen already
It is inconceivable that Twitter has not immediately improved security protocols on their platforms, because everyone around the world has been using the Twitter platform for various purposes, both business and personal.

I believe everything should be normal by now as Twitter has responded hugely to it. It seems this is a hacker association attack. Never experienced something of this nature. Twitter need to do more in security wise.
Faster response will be much better, because everyone already believes in the Twitter platform as the easiest social media account for anyone to use, so it is necessary to have a fast response to follow up on this and improve a better security system.

It is clear that it was hacked and they are just aiming to get some crypto from all the desperate people right now.
But we should really be careful on the links that we would visit just like what others have said it could have some malware or anything else.
I hope that no one got scammed by it and we should now avoid the stated project if it is real.

I just like the fact that crypto investors are now smarter, I believe if someone had to fall for that trick it would be someone who have no experience about crypto space at all, those hackers would leave with pennies I'm sure but there is no way to know, let's keep protecting ourselves, it's very important

This is a devastating hacking event in the history of twitter. Thankfully the hacker was fool enough to write only one sentence on each page or else there will be lots of victims. Thankfully there are people who quickly recognize it as a spam message and know that it's not from the actual page. but there are some people who fell victim to this post on each page. let's just hope that they won't be another hacking attempt on the other social media page. Twitter has damaged its reputation and the problem here is they will put it all to the crypto industry.

This is really big. How they targeted big names and corporation. I read somewhere it was done by a former twitter staff who fell out with the company. Really not good. I also saw on YouTube similar link attach to some Vitalis videos requesting for BTC. I just knew it was fake. How YouTube allow such tonne on its site surprised me.

Well, this will seriously affect the reputation of Twitter. They were hacked and popular accounts in this market were hacked and posted fake posts. In the near future we need to be really careful because everything can happen in this market

They all have the same tweet from the hackers themselves:

"We have partnered with CryptoForHealth and are giving back 5000 BTC to the community. See more here: cryptoforhealth.com"

The Twitter accounts that have been hacked are Binance, CZ Binance, Gemini, Coinbase, KUCOIN, Justin Sun, TRON Foundation, Charlie Lee, etc. I just can't believe how these hackers accessed their Twitter accounts. My goodness!!!

Has anyone encountered these tweets from the hackers using these accounts I've mentioned above?
Thought it was a joke yesterday when I started seeing the scam giveaways popping up but after seeing on binance too I knew something is wrong with twitter, honestly when it comes to security Twitter got none, too weak and vunerable to attacks, I hope people don't fall for that trick

It is alarming that twitter accounts of numerous prominent people in crypto had been hacked. This could be used to trick other people. That is why it is better to be vigilant in whatever we do or read on social media. I hope twitter will do something g about this and trace the hacker. They also need to have stricter security since twitter is also used by crypto enthusiasts in spreading news and updates about crypto.

the total balance in the wallet is now only BTC0.00907371. it looks like the hacker has moved all the money collected before and this is very crazy Shocked
btw this is a hacked Twitter account link:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54803754
Hopefully he could traced where he deposit the BTC and if it's an exchange that could cooperate with the police they will be caught. It's really unfortunate event and the security breach should be taken seriously.
Although it's because some people are too gredy to earn fast money but the fact that the twitter comes from official account that got hacked makes this case different than usual.
Surely no one will ignore this and this wallet address will always be monitored daily so finding an attacker will be very easy. I think Twitter should raise the level of security because without doing this, there will be many attacks in the future. I am also very sad for the lost but hope that this will be a valuable lesson in their lives and it is best not to trust anyone.

I have seen lot of youtube accounts got hacked in the recent days and seen the same 5000 BTC giveaway scam video gets live telecasted at the same time on every hacked account and this video still going on some account and I feel the twitter hack also executed by the same hackers.But the accounts will be retreived soon from the hackers until that these platforms need to give some warning about the hack on the respective platforms to save their customers from falling in to this scam.

Twitter now have suspended those accounts from making twitts and has deleted the previous twitts made by the hacker. They are still accessing the extent of hack and discussing how to handle the situation. Many of the experts has claimed this hack to be the most serious one the internet and social media has ever had. It's just devastating to the trust of twitter.

It's not just them but prominent figures like Elon Musk and Joe Biden got hacked. Even Apple was hacked to post the message. This simply shows that the hackers utilized vulnerability in Twitter themselves. It has nothing to do with personal security of those people and company. It's a huge blow for twitter as the hacker still can hack any accounts at will.


Even Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos, Bill gates, Micheal Bloomberg and Kayne West has been hacked. The hacker can hack any account they want.
The hackers are said to have changed the email and taken full control of the accounts. It shows how vulnerable are our social contacts. This is indeed a failure by company like Twitter. It would certainly make people look away from twitter into something safer and to something that can't be faked by an imposter.
