Basically they were offers where these millionaire celebrities gave the money, they offered double of you deposited in bitcoin, to an account that was opened last week.

How they did it? Who is guilty?

It is believed that the attackers accessed the company's tools, by hacking an employee, that is, they hacked a single employee and that gave them access to a whole universe. Apart from the strong password, these people used 2-step verification , so it is the Twitter platform itself that was hacked, the strategy of changing the password was used and the same email was used to recover the passwords.

Twitter responded by disabling the password change, also disabling all tweets from verified accounts and offered apologies.

The attack only lasted about 30 minutes but the big question is, how much money did these hackers make?

You can see in the account that is registered in one of the tweets that generated 100,000 dollars, but there are those who assure that these people earned millions of dollars with this scam, there were many accounts hacked, there is talk of 7 million dollars.

Many analysts think that this is great publicity for the btc others think that it is bad publicity because they used it for a scam, it is for ech one interpretation, but what surprises me most is that people think that those millionaires are going to give away money, that is the evil of my country, people think that they are going to give them things and that is why they are deceived, but I see that it is a global evil, an evil that many know how to exploit.

Thank's for read

Bill Gates got hacked. Oh the irony.

According to what I heard the hacker made up to 1BTC and that is a lot of money, those who lost their funds had different stories to tell some said it was their tution fee and one other person even said he used his father's pension money really bad.

I did not know those stories that bad for those people, but they learned a great lesson nothing is easy or free in life.

I can't imagine those accounts been hacked. I was wondering was they not secured enough

There are analysts who have explained, imagine that they hack trump, hackers could start a war or an international problem.

Exactly that is what I am trying to point out

this was a serious attack on twitter accounts but reading the tweets was fun.

Not funny for those who lost their money, but hackers will be laughing with happiness

It was a serious attack and it just shows how much digital platforms still need their improved security systems.
