CZ & Binance Account was Hacked !!!

[bL4nkcode]

I don't know if what we're up to the flawed website's security, hacked famous website's account, hacked website's employee account, or the scammed people/ amount of bitcoin.

No matter who offered for "send x amount of bitcoin and I will double it" will be and always be a scam, sometimes a prank/sarcasm but it would be easy to read about that. If people will only know how to be suspicious about this surely no one will be scammed or say lesser people will be scammed.

Also, shame on twitter for not stopping this at least less than an hour, it could save people's money for believing those tweets/offers.

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 !

This is not the excuse Twitter gave. This is a claim by someone the NYTimes has said was verified to be the hackers.

I see, but still the hacker getting access to the credentials of many famous accounts through internal slack group is indigestible.

Binance should stop using social media for any announcement, they should do away on something they have no control with, all policies about partnerships should be on their official newsletter or confirmed on a newsletter where they have full control or a blog, Binance is so huge that every action or posts that it takes will have an impact in the industry.

I agree they should put the announcement via press release so that they will not confuse their users especially if theirs hacking incident like this will happen in future, for sure there are some people get caught with the post of the hacker so maybe best if they will look up unto to protect the funds of their users.

Big platforms would always have that consideration on using up social media platforms since they do know that it does have big and wide scope of audience or users.It might not be directly showing off into those people who dont know much about crypto but it is considered to be part of marketing.So its not that something new that they will mainly post up announcement and other stuffs into their social media accounts.
Also these kind of hacking incidents doesnt happen from time to time and on the current previous Twitter hack it already gives out lesson for people that anything into a post that had corresponding
address and asking out some investment then its surely that hacking incident happened once again.They wont believe it on next time it will happen since majority is already aware on the possibilities.
