Such money was there but didn't get to the community

[Timmzzy]

Recently we have the case of twitter hacks, which trend all round social media and let's say the whole world at large since twitter is a popular platform. Now in the other hand to ask this:

** Was it due to greedy that those popular accounts that was hacked never contributed to help the community with their stored funds that's why the hacker had to pull up the stunt by using those accounts to get money from other twitter followers who fall in for such trick.

if your talking about the scam 'ether giveaway'

then yes greedy scamers are lazy and dont want to work hard to earn. so they will look for the quickest way to get money. they wont bother trying to hack random people that dont have many followers. and especially not many followers of a certain topic they want to use as their scam. so yes they wil pick the top people in crypto with the most followers in crypto to then use those hacked accounts to promote the ether giveaway scams

..
those hacked influencers did react and change their name/bio to 'i dont give away ether'. but if you think these influencers should somehow compensate victims. well thats just not how the world works

those that did get scammed should use it as a lesson in life to not be blindly trusting any influencer. not treat them like jesus and auto-believe them simply because they have lots of followers.
a lesson about checking if any investment is legit. even if its just questioning the 'if it sounds to good to be true, it most probably isnt good'
then ask if its really a give away, why need to ask for funds upfront with such promises of returns attached

if victims of scams just got auto compensated. they would never learn and stop caring about due dilegance and just take stupid risks as they would feel they will get their funds back guaranteed somehow.

yes the influencers that got hacked might want to file a police report about their account or request twitter for details of log-in attempts of their account to try to identify the path of the hack.
but the reality is with proxy's and tore nodes. finding a hacker is hard/impossible.

so it then circles back to people learning to care about their own security and funds and stop trying to look for someone else to blame and someone else to compensate them.

so if your worried abut twitter promoted scams. instead of pleading for victim compensation. plead to vulnerable gullible possible victims to wise up.
warn people of the scams. teach them what to look out for
try to teach prevention and not be looking to teach hope of cure/compensation

The users who got hacked were not targeted because they helped or didn't help their communities. They were targeted so that the hackers can post their scams from well-known accounts and scam people for as much as possible. Don't make the mistake of thinking they are some sort of Robin Hoods, taking from the rich. No. You and me and other regular users are the real targets. Influencers and those who got their accounts hacked are just the means to get to us.

I think those accounts that were hacked were those suspected to have huge number of bitcoin or that were prominent people around the world. Those who were influential globally that they asked followers to oblige for certain benefit like bitcoin. They wouldn't have hacked poor twitter users.
