Twitter Accounts Of Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Barrack Obama, Other Prominent People, Hacked!

Twitter accounts of really influencial people in the world have been hacked in a cryptocurrency Scam.

Accounts belonging to Joe Biden, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Apple, amongst other prominent handles, were compromised on Wednesday and posted tweets that appeared to promote a cryptocurrency fraud.

The accounts, along with those of former President Barack Obama, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian West, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos and Mike Bloomberg, posted similar tweets soliciting donations via Bitcoin to their verified profiles.

Gates’ promised to double all payments to a particular Bitcoin address for the next 30 minutes. It reads:

“Everyone is asking me to give back, and now is the time.”

Twitter’s support account said in a tweet on Wednesday:

“We are aware of a security incident impacting accounts on Twitter. We are investigating and taking steps to fix it. We will update everyone shortly.”

A little more than an hour after the attack began, Twitter apparently moved to prevent holders of verified accounts from tweeting.

A CNN test showed non-verified accounts could still tweet.

Twitter’s support account further said:

“You may be unable to Tweet or reset your password while we review and address this incident.” Follow us on Instagram @sofovilla | Follow us on Twitter @sofovilla | Like our page on Facebook via @sofovillamedia
