The coming of our lord Jesus is at hand. The signs of his coming are everywhere. This is surely one...


There is something we all must do in order to escape the perilous times thereafter..

Ask me how?

Tim1212:
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.

No matter the source... if you hear "give me money and I will double it", just ignore. But then again, in this world where our people do 10k giveaway to "the next 10 followers"... what can you expect.

Correct scam jare. Only greedy people will be scammed.

If you fall for cheap scams like these in 2020, you need to be barred from anything screen for the rest of the year.

Mind you, this a client-side attack. Inspect the page and you'll see the techniques.

I wish to believe the blokchainn account address is tied to someone and if so it should be traceable abi?

[s]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[/s]...
until you can pull out $100,000,000 from a bank account in stealth mode pls stop underrating these Nigerian hackers.

Cryptocurrency flow itself is public, but the info of the owner of a crypto coin is not public. IP addresses, ISP and Co, will surely be public. Some bad guys know how to mix the links up, trying to make it unnoticeable but trust American law enforcement, they are wiser.
