Mass Twitter accounts of crypto companies and personalities got hacked!

[cheezcarls]

They all have the same tweet from the hackers themselves:

"We have partnered with CryptoForHealth and are giving back 5000 BTC to the community. See more here: cryptoforhealth.com"

The Twitter accounts that have been hacked are Binance, CZ Binance, Gemini, Coinbase, KUCOIN, Justin Sun, TRON Foundation, Charlie Lee, etc. I just can't believe how these hackers accessed their Twitter accounts. My goodness!!!

Has anyone encountered these tweets from the hackers using these accounts I've mentioned above?

[DoublerHunter]

^ Have you tried to click the link given? I did not attempt to click because probably we will have a malware infection as the comment of the tweet said.
It is look like all major crypto companies twitter accounts has been compromised this day and keep promoting the said content by the OP given.
Nevertheless, we can conclude yet what was exactly happen, unless also the twitter company will explain this scamming attempt.

I have also seen such words, and i implore everyone to totally avoid such tweets; avoid all links as it is not safe, Even Elon Musk twitter account is requesting for bitcoin to be sent to a particular account which means it has also been hacked. Hopefully newbies adhere and avoid those links. I think it is a twitter problem, and hopefully it gets fixed soon before it causes mayhem in the crypto currency world.

No, I haven't but this is now THE BIG NEWS. With this info you'd expect the TWT stock market to plunge though somehow the market is maintained, probably because the market is closed (US stock and market hours)  In any case, this may be a third party breach not directly through twitter so the plunge may not be all that great. Maybe there's still some window of opportunity here

[Westfiled]

Almost all of the twitter exchange sites account from major exchange sites have already hacked. So many awareness have already made by the big parties like cz and it's not only it. It looks like twitter's database getting hijacked.

[asyakashi]

I don't understand their link whether they are spreading panic or anything to commit a crime.
I consider this a crime that was committed neatly and planned.
We recommend that you carefully access social media and are not interested in clicking on any suspicious links.

I have not login in my twitter account for several days, I log in hours earlier and still had my account it seems the hacked are targetted and they have an intention to do that to promote these scam projects, Twitter will have a lot of explaining to do, it just shows and reflects that Twitter is not safe and we need not store our important information there.

It's not just them but prominent figures like Elon Musk and Joe Biden got hacked. Even Apple was hacked to post the message. This simply shows that the hackers utilized vulnerability in Twitter themselves. It has nothing to do with personal security of those people and company. It's a huge blow for twitter as the hacker still can hack any accounts at will.

Even Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos, Bill gates, Micheal Bloomberg and Kayne West has been hacked. The hacker can hack any account they want.
The hackers are said to have changed the email and taken full control of the accounts. It shows how vulnerable are our social contacts. This is indeed a failure by company like Twitter. It would certainly make people look away from twitter into something safer and to something that can't be faked by an imposter.

[Yudhisthir]

Twitter now have suspended those accounts from making twitts and has deleted the previous twitts made by the hacker. They are still accessing the extent of hack and discussing how to handle the situation. Many of the experts has claimed this hack to be the most serious one the internet and social media has ever had. It's just devastating to the trust of twitter.

I have seen lot of youtube accounts got hacked in the recent days and seen the same 5000 BTC giveaway scam video gets live telecasted at the same time on every hacked account and this video still going on some account and I feel the twitter hack also executed by the same hackers.But the accounts will be retreived soon from the hackers until that these platforms need to give some warning about the hack on the respective platforms to save their customers from falling in to this scam.

This news has been all over the community already.

One thing is for sure, Twitter security was breach and it was reported that the hackers was able to amassed a lot of bitcoin already.  As you can see here,

The hackers have stolen more than 12 BTC.

Hopefully he could traced where he deposit the BTC and if it's an exchange that could cooperate with the police they will be caught. It's really unfortunate event and the security breach should be taken seriously.
Although it's because some people are too gredy to earn fast money but the fact that the twitter comes from official account that got hacked makes this case different than usual.

Surely no one will ignore this and this wallet address will always be monitored daily so finding an attacker will be very easy. I think Twitter should raise the level of security because without doing this, there will be many attacks in the future. I am also very sad for the lost but hope that this will be a valuable lesson in their lives and it is best not to trust anyone.

[Genemind]

It is alarming that twitter accounts of numerous prominent people in crypto had been hacked. This could be used to trick other people. That is why it is better to be vigilant in whatever we do or read on social media. I hope twitter will do something g about this and trace the hacker. They also need to have stricter security since twitter is also used by crypto enthusiasts in spreading news and updates about crypto.

[doctor877]

I believe everything should be normal by now as Twitter has responded hugely to it. It seems this is a hacker association attack. Never experienced something of this nature. Twitter need to do more in security wise.

Thought it was a joke yesterday when I started seeing the scam giveaways popping up but after seeing on binance too I knew something is wrong with twitter, honestly when it comes to security Twitter got none, too weak and vunerable to attacks, I hope people don't fall for that trick

[Retainly_Collie]

Well, this will seriously affect the reputation of Twitter. They were hacked and popular accounts in this market were hacked and posted fake posts. In the near future we need to be really careful because everything can happen in this market

[OasisDre]

This is way too much and unexpected, Twitter team needs to clean up their mess and get better security protocols on their platform, imagine if many people believed in that scheme millions of dollars would have been stolen already

[@baoli]

This is really big. How they targeted big names and corporation. I read somewhere it was done by a former twitter staff who fell out with the company. Really not good. I also saw on YouTube similar link attach to some Vitalis videos requesting for BTC. I just knew it was fake. How YouTube allow such tonne on its site surprised me.
