I wonder how did the hacker hack those accounts, and also we know that the twitter security is very questionable now.
We should doubting anyone who give too good to be true promises like that, so we won't easily scammed by people.

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?

I did encountered it several times but I don't pay attention to it. Anything that is too good to be true always ends up as a scam scheme. Only greedy and naive people fall into this kind of trap. Besides those twitter account had their official website where everyone can verify if the twitter message is legit or not even though it is coming from the official twitter account of the said company.

So any take on how did the hackers get through Twitter's security wall? Is it because Twitter allowed their employees to work from home and maybe their personal computer got compromised from there? You know how much difference between workplace computer with all the IT department monitor and set up firewalls compare to just a home computer.
There are several reasons surrounding it, but one was actually the real cause and the victim of the hack could be just a staff. If this should continue to happen to the centralized social media platforms, then almost the whole world is not safe. This means that the twitter account of the president of a whole nation is not safe. THey could have just started exchanges for now, because that is where to get their quick loot.

We often join various platforms using Twitter accounts. In my opinion, this is the basic source that makes Twitter accounts hacked by certain parties.
But hackers also have the ability to hack platforms. I think this is something that often happens. I think of a platform provides a multi registration system, choose with a manual system, without using a connection system.
July 18, 2020, 10:42:42 AM
This is a really big hack, a verified account and has a large following hacked by the same person or group. This also made me suspicious of people on Twitter. But this incident really made a lot of people suffer losses, of course many would be interested if Bill Gates and other hacked accounts make tweets that can double the money with a system like that. If I saw it at that time it might also be interested in sending.

The last few days, many personal twitter accounts of world famous person like Bill Gate, hacked as well as many crypto twitter account (binance, Kucoin, Tron, coinbase etc) hacked. Hackers hacked and posted crypto giveway tweets which is rediculas. Nobody believed that kind of tweets like- Bill Gate will not post about Bitcoin giveway.

Chances, if you click on that link, I think your account will be stolen. Be really careful in this market because there are so many hackers and we could be in danger at any time
Thats what you called phishing sites and the links usually used by hackers because i am once a victim of that clickbaits.Now i know how to deal with them and prevent myself from clicking links sent by usually newbies and hacked accounts.
Yeah it has been circulating around and many articles have already been written about it. Justin DuSun of Tron has already offered $1mnl to who ever would be able to track down the hackers. It is a big blow not only on twitter, and crypto community but other business ventures as well.
There are 4 threads that i cross just within an hour about this twitter issue.And yeah all the victims are popular and prominent people that can easily be used to gather crypto as donors.

I don't know for sure what the cause is but from some information from other forums saying that there is someone who has a friend who works at the company and hacks but I don't know the details. But there are also those who say that employees of these companies sell data to someone, and in my opinion this is very logical. From this case I learned also about the types of malware that might be able to do that and the method.

We must be careful to click any links because that is not guaranteed to feel safe from the hackers. There will be other things that the hackers will search for the next target because they can explore the bug to find the benefits for them, and they are smart enough to see the other bug. Twitter needs to improve its security if that is from their website, and the other side needs to be cautious from the hacker.

I also noticed several accounts of important exchanges and people related to the world of crypto have suffered a hack all with the same message on which obviously I have not clicked, who knows how they managed to hack so many accounts in a so short time
Really a lot of people feel very bad during this time because they blindly transferred money to these addresses. I think if you have been in this market for a long time, you will soon realize it and stay away immediately. However, hackers are very smart when it is possible to attack celebrities' Twitter and this is a serious security hole that Twitter needs to address soon. July 17, 2020, 05:24:25 AM
Although I agree on twitter's fault to let such a vulnerable on their system but still, why would anyone still gullible and fall for a scam like that?
Until whenever there will still be many people trapped by the same thing because human weakness is money. I think reading a lot and hanging out a lot will make us have knowledge about this. Many people still close their eyes and do whatever they want, so they often get caught up in similar scams. Sad reality

The hackers have stolen more than 12 BTC.
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 The hackers have stolen more than 12 BTC.
btw this is a hacked Twitter account link:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54803754
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.
Hackers is outsmarting them, they are now using Monero to hide their tracks. So it will be very difficult to trace them, and they could have cash it out by now, for all we know.
As for the greediness, it's human nature, you really need to really used our common sense. Even if it comes from official account, you should question, how come suddenly those people are giving free money? Doesn't make sense right?
July 16, 2020, 08:58:11 PM
I just saw on the news a lot of Twitter accounts in hacks not just for crypto twitter accounts but big account names are also hacked to be able to reopen their twitter account, they have to pay some bitcoin and that's really cruel
Many investors have trusted and this makes them lose a lot of money. In just a few hours the hacker group has earned over 12 BTC and this is a huge number. I think it's best to never trust games like this because it's definitely a scam and now that BTC address will definitely be blocked by all major exchanges and won't be usable. However, stolen people will never be able to take it back and this is a lesson they should avoid when participating in this market.

it was rumored that the hacker was able to access one of the twitter admin account control panel after his account got hacked. the method on how the attack was made is still unknown. possibly using an Email scams in which the admin failed for it. we awaits for more news on that issue. it is a surprise that people still fall for such scam.
This looks more like it because it was surprised at how possible that could be. The accounts in question here are big accounts of big people in the crypto space. Well, we are just seeing these names because they are the ones that concern us most in the space we are in. I am sure that there are so many other accounts that would have been hacked.

Billgate's account was also getting hacked by kirk. As far as I know, if the hacker named kirk was the main party who has been hijacking the internal software of twitter and then they were changed the email of the hacked accounts for with his email.

Everyone wants to some interesting thing from this case?
So, when the hacker makes a transaction from the bitcoin he receives. He makes a hidden message from the bitcoin address he used, here the message:
Source : Cointelegraph
The address he used for make a message is Vanity Address Bitcoin, as you can see on the image he try to make a fud on bitcoin and promoting Monero on this case. What's do you think about this?

I heard the news as well in my local news, they even include Bill Gates and other famous celebrities, and not just everything crypto-related.
Kinda scary how many fell into that kind of scam since many followers believe in their favorite celebrities.
Not to mention that there were like these as well in Youtube but except it was merely a fake channel claiming to double your ETH when you send one.

This incident is different since they are using the real account of those popular crypto exchange and know personality in crypto or in real life. They can easily fools their supporters for posting it in their own channel. That kind of news should spread immediately before many people will deposit on that address and scam many of the their supporters.
Looks like Twitter is not so secured to have an account there since its vulnerable to hacking like this which can be a big problem in the future for personal use Twitter account for updates.
Although I agree on twitter's fault to let such a vulnerable on their system but still, why would anyone still gullible and fall for a scam like that?
You also can't blame them because the tweet came ifrom a legitimate account and not from a dummy that's why they trusted it.

The hacked tweet from Elon Musk’s account alone has raised 1.5 BTC. My goodness!
Twitter is hevaily liable on this matter. If they were to switch to a decentralized micro-blogging platform where private keys are the only method to access, this wouldn’t have happened!

The toll is now more than 12 btc although new transactions have now stopped coming and the person responsible have already emptied the wallet. This can be the biggest blunder on Twitter's side as this can't be caused by a single person screwing up, then only a single account would have posted this endorsement. I guess the Twitter database have been leaked and for now the hacker group is only targeting the verified accounts for maximum earnings possible.The hacked tweet from Elon Musk’s account alone has raised 1.5 BTC.

This can be a good alternative, but in case of leak of private key there won't be recovery possible and I don't think that one will be able to recover that account from the control of hacker and also wouldn't be able to block the attacker from accessing the account since login only uses private key of the user. 
July 16, 2020, 09:04:43 AM
We've been seeing that method of scam and anyone who actually fell for that is extremely greedy. How on earth will anyone for instance think Bezos will request for BTC from followers, promising to double it? Any wise person who is not carried away by greed should easily spot the scam attempt. However, Twitter should tighten their security it should serve as a call to upgrade.

Really? That's shocking news! However, I think people with experiences will not believe in those tricks. Americans usually say "too good to be true". I don't think a lot of people with understandings, knowledge, experience about this cryptocurrency market will fall into this trick. However, there are many people who don't know about the risk of being scammed in this market, they probably will be fooled!

I don't understand their link whether they are spreading panic or anything to commit a crime.
I consider this a crime that was committed neatly and planned.
We recommend that you carefully access social media and are not interested in clicking on any suspicious links.
I'd never click the link either for security reasons and much better not to try it anymore. I consider this a crime that was committed neatly and planned.

This huge hacking of twitter accounts is really alarming and it really affects the reputation of known personalities whos account has been a victim to this surprise. This is an unusual thing but hackers likely to join the Guinness world of records...
This hacking event will likely send us a message to be more aware and must be careful in dealing with links especially when it looks suspicious.

I consider such offers unrealistic and therefore do not click on such links. But there are also those who fell for this scam. I saw such information that hackers managed to get 0.7BTC. This is not a lot of money when compared to the fact that a lot of well-known accounts were involved in this scam.

It would be nice to find out how they hack all of these accounts, the only way how hackers get access to the accounts is a phishing attack and if it confirms, then there would be more problems in the future. The last big phishing attack cost Binance around 40 million USD, so it would be nice to predict hacker´s move.
It's still become a big question and some crypto platforms have already offered the bounty to discover the hacker or try to reveal the identity of the hacker. Twitter must also learn a lot from this case as so many people were getting big loss. July 16, 2020, 05:21:19 AM
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
Twitter's reputation going to be collapsed after this incident. Severe them right to try to be a political correctness place for snowflakes. Did they recently try to use a more "correctly" term in the programming language like "blacklist" to become "allowlist" because of poc? Gee, if they spent their human resource toward secure their system then they won't be in a hot spot right now.

Crypto investors are now smarter than before and these kind of scams will not work for them although I believe that there are some who got fall into this kind of scamming.
In my part, I will not fall into this kind of scam even though it came from a popular person like Bill Gates or Elon Musk or anybody related to crypto. For some investors out there, think twice before making a decision. Coming from a popular person doesn't mean that it is legit already especially now that hacking is being done more frequently. The security system of these platforms must upgrade too as hackers are also evolving.

Just like OP posted, they targeted the social media accounts of those crypto companies that is surely followed by many people. Even if it is suspicious to most of us, there are still some people who will fall from this trap.

So many social media channels nowadays. Younger generation are crazy about these stuffs. So it's not surprising if a lot of people are being screwed by scammers due to these social media apps. We need to be vigilant with these things. If the offer is too good to be true, expect that there's something fraudulent about it.

I just like the fact that crypto investors are now smarter,
Most of those crypto investors learned from past experiences, though there are still newcomers who are still prone being caught.
I believe if someone had to fall for that trick it would be someone who have no experience about crypto space at all,
Someone who are not doing their homework before releasing their money are mostly become a victims.
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
It's a must to protect yourself while you are actively participating to this market, never to follow any promises that's too good to be true.
July 16, 2020, 04:26:58 AM
thanks for the info . now i know why i see lots of news feed related to twitter hacks on the homepage of my browser but i didnt viewed them yet as im too busy . now my question is how can the hacker access all of those accounts , or its also the twitters fault because they dont update thier security to the latest . lets us warn other people and comunity if we are a member of them so that no new people will fall for it because this is one of the serious scam in the history of crypto

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?

I have not used twitter since it got hacked 2 years ago i just know how weak the security features of Twitter so it's not really surprising to me, the Crypto community need a twitter like service to serve the community and don;'t just rely to a centralized sites like Twitter and Facebook because of this hacking so many investors are losing money.
July 16, 2020, 04:16:40 AM
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. 
July 16, 2020, 02:17:44 AM
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. July 16, 2020, 02:08:07 AM

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.

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
July 16, 2020, 01:14:35 AM
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 "We have partnered with CryptoForHealth and are giving back 5000 BTC to the community.

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.
July 15, 2020, 11:48:24 PM
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.

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.

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.
July 15, 2020, 09:05:32 PM
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.

I have not login in my twitter account for several days, I log in hours earlier and still had my account it seems the hacked are targetted and they have an intention to do that to promote these scam projects, Twitter will have a lot of explaining to do, it just shows and reflects that Twitter is not safe and we need not store our important information there.
July 15, 2020, 06:31:13 PM
I don't understand their link whether they are spreading panic or anything to commit a crime.
I consider this a crime that was committed neatly and planned.
We recommend that you carefully access social media and are not interested in clicking on any suspicious links.

Almost all of the twitter exchange sites account from major exchange sites have already hacked. So many awareness have already made by the big parties like cz and it's not only it. It looks like twitter's database getting hijacked.

No, I haven't but this is now THE BIG NEWS. With this info you'd expect the TWT stock market to plunge though somehow the market is maintained, probably because the market is closed (US stock and market hours)
In any case, this may be a third party breach not directly through twitter so the plunge may not be all that great. Maybe there's still some window of opportunity here July 15, 2020, 03:25:32 PM

I have also seen such words, and i implore everyone to totally avoid such tweets; avoid all links as it is not safe, Even Elon Musk twitter account is requesting for bitcoin to be sent to a particular account which means it has also been hacked. Hopefully newbies adhere and avoid those links. I think it is a twitter problem, and hopefully it gets fixed soon before it causes mayhem in the crypto currency world.
July 15, 2020, 03:21:09 PM
^ Have you tried to click the link given? I did not attempt to click because probably we will have a malware infection as the comment of the tweet said.
It is look like all major crypto companies twitter accounts has been compromised this day and keep promoting the said content by the OP given.
Nevertheless, we can conclude yet what was exactly happen, unless also the twitter company will explain this scamming attempt.
