Hacked Twitter Accounts Cost Millions (8/8)

A reminder of the old “too good to be true” mantra. 

In 2020 dozens of celebrities Twitter accounts were hacked, and a message was displayed claiming that if 1k worth of Bitcoin were sent to an address, then 2k would be sent back.

Unfortunately, many folks fell for this message and millions were stolen before Twitter could restore access and delete the tweets.

Some of the other accounts involved were Joe Biden and Bill Gates.
