DO NOT CLICK THE URL IN TWITTER POSTS !!!
Most of the accounts had 2FA activated. Something is probably wrong with Twitter itself.

Hello world, have you googled Bitcoin?
Jokes aside, this is huge for Bitcoin. Might not be the best light to shine on us but it gets more jumping down the BTC rabbit hole. at a time when central banks are treating fiat like its worthless. That's one of the reasons I started a bitcoin blog with meme accounts during the quarantine too. The timing felt right.
I read that the hackers got around 2FA. They got Obama, Bill Gates, Biden, etc? Those are the biggest targets in the world. Was it done for the scam or the bad publicity? I wonder how much they even got.
This put bitcoin in every news report around the globe.

Yes, they got those big people in US. I think the hacker did it for his obvious reasons and purpose.

And that's no other than to scam.

If you can imagine verified accounts under different handles still managed to fool people, this case is on a way larger scale. Those non-Bitcoiners might have finally embrace Bitcoin, albeit with dire consequences

Color me surprised, the hack was against Twitter, after all. So yeah, given the perpetrators apparently focused in scamming people their Bitcoins, it isn't in the least surprising.

I don't know if twitter has initiated forced account password resets, but after reverting everything, assume they got all of them.

Thankfully, this happened after Twitter enacted the "after 6 month inactivity accounts will be removed" policy.

So yeah, forget Twitter. Have you tried Mastodon already?

Too bad that they've been caught by those hackers and they thought that it was those verified people that actually tweeted it.

They might be feeling bad for falling for those cons, too bad intro for bitcoin.

This is only due to twitter negligence and they should be held responsible and they should compensate the people who got scammed because it is simply failure of their system.
