This is interesting and I like it. If that's true, that's really a good news for us as it will help us recognize the scam messages that have been twitted all over. Such attacks and plans are constantly present, not even in the form of digital money. I can not help but think that the site based on the place of life is the hot bed for such chaos, realize that many individuals are naive and do not check the contrasting things with the individuals in the discussions. and mailing destinations. Electronic money is cheated by hackers. Vandals are always ready for the opportunity to hack them very actively. We need to focus more on security

Such assaults and plans are constantly present, even without digital forms of money. One ought to dependably look at sources and look for potential tricks that are connected through authority accounts. I can't help thinking that web based life locales are the hotbed for such disarray, realizing that more individuals are naïve and don't check things contrasted with individuals in discussions and mailing destinations. Simply figure out how to check tweets, devotee tally and see in the case of everything coordinates to the official records and you're fine.

This kind of negative news personally makes me feel so bad. Because of these scams and frauds the environment of crypto currency has got so complex. I hope one day the entire market place would be transparent I wish it could be happened.



I agree with you. I believe that crypto currency is a great achievement for human beings. But there are many dishonest people on the planet. Yes, 15,000 is good work, but it's not enough

Thanks to twitter for that. Las few months was awful and I so irritated because of these scamming efforts.

Did you read the post? It was not twitter who discovered this bot nets, U.S.-based Duo Security. And if you go further on the article, you will read Twitter's response:

Quote
“In many cases, spammy content is hidden on Twitter on the basis of automated detections. When spammy content is hidden on Twitter from areas like search and conversations, that may not affect its availability via the API. This means certain types of spam may be visible via Twitter’s API even if it is not visible on Twitter itself. Less than 5 percent of Twitter accounts are spam-related.”

So how can you thank Twitter? It looks like they are disregarding what the company has unraveled. If Twitter doesn't react positively, their systems will be overrun by this ultra sophisticated AI bots that's its going to be different to differentiate because this bots have evolved to have AI.
