The Twitter accounts of various high-profile personalities like Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Jeff Bezos, Kim Kardashian, Bill Gates, Mike Bloomberg, Elon Musk, Kanye West, and others got hacked on Wednesday. This came to light when fake tweets offering to send $2,000 for every $1,000 sent to a bitcoin address were made through these accounts. Not only this, but the scam appeared to have happened in two rounds after the same Bitcoin-scamming tweets were made for the second time from the official accounts of Bill Gates and Elon Musk after their first tweets were deleted. Twitter Support announced on Wednesday evening that its team was investigating and wrote, "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."from IndiaTV: Google News Feed https://ift.tt/392kzFm
