Personal accounts of execs, tech companies and cryptocurrency exchanges steer followers to send moneyThe Twitter accounts of billionaires Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk and technology companies including Apple Inc. and Uber Technologies Inc., appear to have been hacked Wednesday afternoon, the latest instance in which users with millions of followers have been compromised on the social- media platform.

The accounts of Mr. Musk, Mr. Gates, Mr. Bezos, Apple and others posted similar messages requesting money be sent to cryptocurrency accounts. The messages received thousands of likes before they were taken down.

Cryptocurrency account is built to the idea that every transaction is stored everywhere. Why on earth do you demand blackmail money via crypto?

Think all 'Blue checks' were hacked, except President Trump's.

Seeing that Twitter hates DJT, my guess, it’s a warning to alert them someone is getting close to seeing their accounts private information.

What about mine? The dammed bastards hacked into mine as well and there's no mention of it!!! I can't fuc.. oooh.. er.. my bad. As you were.

Why only USA individuals account? When trump is saying it, you all be hating. Your cyber security has been compromised. When you focus on unnecessary things, aliens will take your land. Wake up America!

SethAbramson this is very severe. if something like this can happen and steal a few hundred thousand, think what else could happen that's a lot more serious. Twitter has some explaining to do.

Hahaha welcome to our world

Remind me again who trump appointed head of cyber security? Oh, that’s right.

I was wondering why Bezos was asking me for 20 bucks !😁

Am I the only one who thinks that this hack may have been committed by a foreign power?

how come they only made 12.5BTC after all that effort?

SethAbramson And Joe Biden.

Twitter should strengthen security rather than the control of free speech.

President Obama and mr Beast too

Twitter should have invested less in censorship and more in cyber security...

The hackers appear to [also?] have some random algorithm going around, because even people with 10 followers are getting hacked.

Tesla and Twitter have yet to respond to requests for comment.

You send $1,000, I send back $2,000! Only doing this for the next 30 minutes." Tweets with a similar request went out on Bill Gates's account and Apple's never-used account and were taken down. According to CoinDesk, Twitter accounts for Gemini, Binance, KuCoin, Coinbase, Litecoin's Charlie Lee, Tron's Justin Sun, Bitcoin, Bitfinex, Ripple, Cash App, and CoinDesk, were also compromised. BitTorrent also confirmed the hacks and said it was working with Twitter to return its accounts to normal. Shares of Twitter declined 2.4% after hours, following a 3.8% rise to close the regular session at $35.67. Was the Hack? Jeff Bezos as well And Bezos too.
