Joe Biden, Bill Gates, former President Obama, Elon Musk, Kanye West, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos and Mike Bloomberg are among the prominent people whose Twitter accounts were compromised and posted tweets that appeared to promote a cryptocurrency scam


How can Twitter allow this to happen.

From your outburst I can only come to the conclusion that you fell for the scam also, or that you've been probably scammed more times than you can remember due to your foolishness and greediness. Here's not the place to vent ur anger and frustration, direct it towards the scammers that scammed u, idiot.

You're very funny, how would I fall for such Scam. I don't even have a personal social media account, I'm new on nairaland. You don't know me and I don't know you I'm just responding to your comment that's all.

Insult me for airing my opinion? You guys are just too rude here. Just because this is an open forum doesn't mean you must insult everyone because you feel like it. Please learn to respect people both online and offline. Please don't quote me anymore, thanks.

I will quote you one more time... Bleep off.

Nigerians are such big egotists

I have always wondered what makes Nigerians so proud and think we did everything. That we have many Yahoo boys doesn't mean we are smart enough to do this badass hacking. Someone even said her brother can hack Obama's Twitter. Smh. This is not phishing here, Obama and co are much too smart for that. This is the word of Russia and IT wicked Asians. It's like assuming a yahoo boy can hack Pentagon. What kinda pride!

Hush puppy with all his money was a dumbass. He was nothing but a picker. I wouldn't be surprised if those who loaded his accounts were connected to Russian or Chinese or Indian loaders. Hushpuppy was just an account man. Find us bank account ( which he probably did through dating format) that's all. No tech here.

Look Nigerians are not super oo. Don't be fooled. We are just the loudest country in the world. Asians and Indians go to Western universities and rape them properly in Tech and mathematics and medical sciences. Their nations will never shout it. Na norms. Chinese President will never congratulate you for topping Harvard. Na norms. This countries have high honor standards.

It is only Nigeria that will be making noise when foreign born Nigerians and black Europeans with roots from here blow( AJ, etc) . These guys are just benefitting from the system. It had nothing to do with Nigeria.

Nigeria is great as a big country. But don't ever hype Nigeria. It's the biggest country in Africa so it's normal our guys make big achievements. It's just normal probability. Nigeria has a country is still filled with dumbasses all around. If we are smart how come a dullard rules us. Look at all your politicians. How did they come to rule you? These are guys that wouldn't clean poo is China!

Kenya produced US president, no noise, no big hype. The second most powerful ful man in the UK, the lord chancellor of the Exchequer is an Indian. No noise. No hype.

We should learn to stop with the hype. It doesn't do well for us. Forget about western trained Nigerians. Nothing is actually great about this Nigeria.

Our yahoo boys are just desperate and have the proper environment here because they hands of FBI are not that long and they don't chase petty yahoo boys. Most of the yahoo boys here will be caught within months in the USA. Nothing special. Just simple knock on door and it will be FBI.

You're a frustrated fellow, die with your ego.

Well, with the way high profile accounts are being hacked at the same time on the same purpose, there is probably a Judas working for Twitter

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...

This is the dumbest thing I have read in a long time.
If you're a dumb uncivilised Nigerian, not everyone is like you, your friends or your family members.

Nigerians are equally capable to pull the most advanced scams in the world from Distributed Denial of service to APTs

If you don't know what you are talking about, just shut the hell up, so you don't disgrace yourself publicly

suspicion on what? I am not selling anything here. I only sought for help. How seeking for assistance brings suspicion? Can you give what you don't have? Give kindly to the needy regardless and God will take care of your needs too. Anyone who asks is a needy. Old or new account means nothing if you really want to help. I slept last night without knowing what to give my children this morning. But i was woken by a 1k naira alert from a blessed soul this mornin. It makes a lot of different. The person just made four souls happy with what he might considered a token. I had always been a guest here until i opened the account purposely to seek for help. Thanks

Well, btc has been in existence for long. I knew of it in 2016 and I must tell u I make a good cash from it in 2017. I bought it that time and I hold it. If u buy and hold it might increase or decrease. It is like holding dollars.
Each Bitcoin is basically a computer file which is stored in a 'digital wallet' app on a smartphone or computer. People can send Bitcoins (or part of one) to your digital wallet, and you can send Bitcoins to other people. Every single transaction is recorded in a public list called the blockchain."l

So it's like an e-wallet where you can store your money and sell it when you please to?
