Gemini twitter to https://twitter.com/gemini?lang=en

Bit embarrassing they haven't put out an official announcement through the app or something: perhaps that'd have been a better idea.

The tweet is over 1 hour and the account had not yet been recover. The scare is the link on the tweet that is assumed could be dangerous to followers not to lose fund. This is not good for twitter as many other popular figure was also affected with the hack, I think the hack is targeted to mostly crypto influencers on twitter. I just hope the damage will be minimal for viewers.

As you said this is embarrassing people reply to the tweet is enough reason for them not to announce the issue and I'm sure this will make some people understand that no one or exchange site is ever safe or bulletproof to hacker attack.
OP, could you move this thread to discussion thread and I will advise you to archive the page next time cause one of the link is removed.

Imagine if one day one of those crypto billionaires actually tries to organize a giveaway. He'd end up in jail for being generous

I'm hoping that crypto followers are already wise not  to follow such link, it's always
better to be responsible from every action.
It's been a while and there are so many incidents of scamming that take place using
same fake giveaways.
It's a bad impact for twitter as incidents of hacking  like this where there are so much to risk.

This is widespread. Many Twitter accounts have been hacked, and are promoting various scams.

The crypto accounts are the most obvious because they are posting various "giveaways" but I would not be surprised if other accounts are also getting hacked.

^ I think its too late because BTC address of the scammers had scammed already almost 6 BTC.
Just look at this transaction, https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/bc1qxy2kgdygjrsqtzq2n0yrf2493p83kkfjhx0wlh.
See? Almost 200 transaction was made and I assume that is a single account who was fooled by them. Poor followers, they are the victim here not the major crypto twitter company accounts.

Looks like there was some coordinated Twitter attack with a lot of verified accounts being hacked. Could easily see this as being an exploit on Twitter's end which allowed access to a user's account.

[electronicash]

its just twitter that's been hacked though. still there are users who send BTC to them. with just that tweet they collected almost 6BTC already.
its easy to believe it because its binance twitter. if it was just random influencer, people wouldn't send any btc to them but its binance account that got hacked. i tried visiting the link but its not loading, probably taken down already?

Its not that surprising that there are people who do easily believe into these scamming attempts without even questioning theirselves first on how the hell Binance and other famous platforms
do partner up some site that do giveaway and with that alone you can already spot out that theres some shady business is happening. 6BTC in a course of few hours ? DAMN!

The Wendy's social media team is capitalizing on the hack:

Seems like coinmarketcap have some update on this incident regarding Twitter Hacked. They mentioned 12btc already that have been stolen from the community.

Who Are the Hacker(s)?
A recent article from Cointelegraph that traces the addresses involved has found that the hacker(s) are in the process of sending their funds to an address that had previously sent money to BitPay and Coinbase — and the existence of past transactions on two large exchanges mean that it may be possible to find out the identity of the hacker(s).

The address that now contains all of the funds from the hack, according to Cointelegraph at press time, has received 14.75 BTC, worth now about $135,000 on CMC.

We can track the address and crypto pouring on the hackers asset here:

Looks like 12.86btc were already been moved somewhere.

Also Twitter already gave their response regarding their investigation.

I didnt read any form of compensation or whatever help to those victim instead of tighting their security access. Tsk

I heard a news that the hacker had been traced when he sent some of the bitcoin to coinbase wallet, I don't know how genuine this news is, I think it's an insider work, more than a dozen of high personalities verified accounts were hacked

According to the New York Times:

Mr. O'Connor said other hackers had informed him that [the hacker] got access to the Twitter credentials when he found a way into Twitter’s internal Slack messaging channel and saw them posted there, along with a service that gave him access to the company’s servers. People investigating the case said that was consistent with what they had learned so far. A Twitter spokesman declined to comment, citing the active investigation.

Needless to say, this is a very bad security practice. This is the equivalent to writing down security credentials on a piece of paper that is posted on a board that everyone in the office walks past every day.

I don't think a leakage in slack group is a wise excuse, and it's highly unlikely that twitter employees were talking about something as vanurable as to getting access to the accounts of the most prominent figures in the world or in crypto at specific ( most of the hacked users were using the best security practices available like 2FA ), I mean which company allows to share such data even in an employees slack group !

Lots of top figure such as Elon musk twitter account also has been hacked, more to come?
The way i see it, seems like with the current massive incident it's just gained the bitcoin popularity eventhough yeah a lot of media said that's make the negative spotlight on bitcoin and yes it is... but in the end everything is back to usfor whateve happened , this incident reminding us to be more careful and there's indeed no safe place when you are connected to internet.

Well , let's see how the market reacted , stuck unshakeable with no impact or at the end of the day .. more people start researching about bitcoin as they getting more curious 🤔.
Just feel bad for those who has spent bitcoin to those hacker addresses.

Elon musk bitcoin address scam itself has received over 12 bitcoin ,
That being said, 12 btc + 5.7 btc = 17.7 btc so far
Damn

Almost all big names on twitter has been hack but there's nothing to worry about it by now since the situation is already controlled and no people will be harmed by this time again, Maybe it create a sort of damages but we should not worry on this since this could never contribute to any dumping schemes in the market, Maybe we should let the issue buried so that those newbies will not get panic for wrong though's.
