Twitter account that listed above has a strong security. How come this hacker have access on it. Maybe an inside job from twitter employee? What do you think?

I don't think this is an insider's job, if someone from twitter done this then they will get caught easily so these are done by the real hackers who knows how to breach the strong security features.But why recovering the hacked accounts doesn't take place yet it should have been done in real quick to save people.

12.84 BTC received at the moment which values more than 110K in dollars, but the address has only 0.009 BTC left so they keep moving all the received funds. Shocked

Is there any response from Twitter side about these mass hack of crypto related platforms?

That's huge amount of money. I wonder who will be responsible in case victim complains about fund. This twitter account was verified and I believe victim will surely believe on this scheme even though the website looks an obvious scam. The website is currently marked as phishing website which appear before you access the website. So I think no more victim should be add to the list.
