Hackers are maaad

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
I don't think this is hacker, this is an inside job from one of Twitter security team.

Major cash outs I won't be surprised if Nigerians pulled this off
Nigeria hackers never reach this level, try us, Russia or china or probably an inside job from Twitter workers.

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.

Na, only $115, 000 was sent!
They were not after money. They wanted to tell the world that Twitter is compromised, and of course, for other reasons best known to them.
maybe it was quickly take. Down by Twitter, otherwise it would have been more than that

Re: High Profile Twitter Accounts Hacked By Bitcoin Scammers by Nobody: 7:29am On Jul 16, 2020
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

Bros Bill Gates' account was hacked. No be Naija scammer go run that kind package. E too advanced. Try Russians, Chinese etc... Not Naija. Hopefully the culprit would be caught soon and we'll see. Till then I rest my case.
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.
Re: High Profile Twitter Accounts Hacked By Bitcoin Scammers by grandstar(m): 7:35am On Jul 16, 2020
Does this signal the end of bitcoin or crypto currencies? Is this the beginning of the end?

This hacking would have made these crooks over $100m. The damage would have been far larger if it was an easily accessible online currency like PayPal.

Just reading the comments, lool . Many people who don't know about hacking saying Nigeria can pull this off except if the Nigerian didn't grow up in this country or currently not in the country maybe in russia , China, usa or some Asian countries. Twitter is f*cking high level advance shit way to big for someone that grow up in Nigeria to even try and hack.
What most Nigerian do is phishing attacks

Re: High Profile Twitter Accounts Hacked By Bitcoin Scammers by munachiso58(m): 8:13am On Jul 16, 2020
hacking there accounts was a good move but the post about giving back to there community doesn't sound good enough to me.

if they truly wants to help there community they know how to go about it rather than following the win win procedure.
