In a rather shocking update, the Twitter accounts of Joe Biden, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Barack Obama, and Apple and many other prominent people and organizations handle got hacked. Their handles appeared to have posted tweets promoting a cryptocurrency scam.
Also, the Twitter handles of Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos, and Mike Bloomberg got compromised and posted tweets about donations with Bitcoin.
Twitter support reacted to the same saying they are investigating and taking steps to fix it. Twitter within an hour prevented holders of verified accounts from tweeting and prevented them from tweeting or resetting their password while they review and address the incident.
The bitcoin account that appeared in some of the tweets had more than 320 transactions and received more than $113,000. And this all happened within minutes of the tweets being posted.
