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?

The last few days, many personal twitter accounts of world famous person like Bill Gate, hacked as well as many crypto twitter account (binance, Kucoin, Tron, coinbase etc) hacked. Hackers hacked and posted crypto giveway tweets which is rediculas. Nobody believed that kind of tweets like- Bill Gate will not post about Bitcoin giveway.

This is a really big hack, a verified account and has a large following hacked by the same person or group. This also made me suspicious of people on Twitter. But this incident really made a lot of people suffer losses, of course many would be interested if Bill Gates and other hacked accounts make tweets that can double the money with a system like that. If I saw it at that time it might also be interested in sending.

We often join various platforms using Twitter accounts. In my opinion, this is the basic source that makes Twitter accounts hacked by certain parties.
But hackers also have the ability to hack platforms. I think this is something that often happens. I think of a platform provides a multi registration system, choose with a manual system, without using a connection system.

So any take on how did the hackers get through Twitter's security wall? Is it because Twitter allowed their employees to work from home and maybe their personal computer got compromised from there? You know how much difference between workplace computer with all the IT department monitor and set up firewalls compare to just a home computer.

There are several reasons surrounding it, but one was actually the real cause and the victim of the hack could be just a staff. If this should continue to happen to the centralized social media platforms, then almost the whole world is not safe. This means that the twitter account of the president of a whole nation is not safe. THey could have just started exchanges for now, because that is where to get their quick loot.

I did encountered it several times but I don't pay attention to it.  Anything that is too good to be true always ends up as a scam scheme.  Only greedy and naive people fall into this kind of trap.  Besides those twitter account had their official website where everyone can verify if the twitter message is legit or not even though it is coming from the official twitter account of the said company.

I wonder how did the hacker hack those accounts, and also we know that the twitter security is very questionable now.
We should doubting anyone who give too good to be true promises like that, so we won't easily scammed by people.
