yeah. quite thru theres a major difference between scammer and hacker. while majority of jackets are scammers not all scammers are hackers

You're very correct, brother. It's so advanced.

"Twitter said late Wednesday that its investigation had uncovered an operation that targeted Twitter employees to gain access to internal systems and tools."

This is some high level vulnerability exploitation. Twitter might not even have a clue of how they did it that's why they deactivated tweeting from verified accounts.
lolz even twitter support was hacked,n some 9ja here are saying itz a 9ja scam format

Verified Twitter accounts can not tweet as of now because Twitter is currently working on rectifying the breach. That's the reason why our duuurrrrling NCDC is yet to knack us today's livescores grin cheesy grin

Truth is the perpetrator will be caught pa. This is a big scam. I don't think the person doesn't want to be caught. These are big targets. The scammer wants to pass a message and he knows he will be caught. Lol the entire force of law and investigation will fall on him. By the time the heavy hands of US law agencies serve subpoenas all around, every company that he used their tools will hand over all the info they have to get him. He intentionally bleeped with the big fish. Of course he will be caught
That’s if he used US or US based company.
Re: High Profile Twitter Accounts Hacked By Bitcoin Scammers by Laboni: 8:44am On Jul 16, 2020
The hackers obviously penetrated Twitter servers via one of her staff’s system.

Could it have been done by the U.S Army? I recently saw an article that said the U.S army department is getting serious about developing a cryptocurrency tracker.

Could be they planned the attack to create controversy about the dangers of bitcoin and subliminally influence the wealthy private investors to partake in their crypto-tracker program.
I highly doubt the us army is involved undecided

The hack is an inside job by some twitter employees who used twitter admin platform to do the heist.

Pls stop mentioning me, if you can not read press release of the supposed heist.

continue to deceive yourself bro. I've friends that shut down school network, manipulate the system, target different big sites and gain access. Trust me, a lot of things are possible when hackers come together to pull a job. Tho I'm not saying a Nigerian did this but we have good hackers here too, no caps.

This particular scam looks like an insider job to me. Maybe a former Twitter employee.

Lol @school network. Are you really comparing a Nigerian school's website to Twitter? Nigerian companies don't even have secure websites and you're talking about schools.

It might be China! lol. Think about it, they've been threatening retaliation on the US for the recent heavy sanctions and ban of Huawei 5g in UK. This is just a warm-up.

Some of you typing "Nigerians" seem not to know that IT knowledge in this part of the world is still limited. Scams like this one are usually the work of an insider or from more advanced countries like Russia, China, India or the US itself. I don't really know for sure, but I'm willing to bet it's not a Nigerian. Hushpuppi and co. just send business compromise emails to get account details with fake internet IDs, I believe this is way advanced...
I agree with you. The countries you mentioned including Pakistan are way ahead of us when it comes to IT.
Don't mind those saying otherwise.

I won't be surprised too. The format is wack. And resemble naija format
yes, you are a critical thinker..the format is too local..you can't expect a processional hacker claiming to be bill gate or joe biden etc to use that localised tone to deceive people..the English was the same to all these Binono or Binary local scammers.

Ordinary VPN, nigeria no fit make. You need serious exposure
Abeg tell them ooo

All these fools go just come nairaland kon dey tok rubbish.

Na so dem hype hushpuppy and invictus obi etc as if dem sabi wetin dem dey call hacking

All the online fraud wey naija dey do, who teach them? all the tools dem dey use who create am? All the websites dem dey enter to commit fraud, who program am?

Ingots wey no dey think before dem tok
