Throw-back Thursday: The Twitter Hack As Joe Biden is getting ready to be declared the next US president, I just had a flash-back of the Twitter hack that targeted many US celebrities, movie stars or high profile individuals, including old Joe!
Many front page personalities got their Twitter account hacked. Joe Biden, the next US president, Tesla's founder Elon Musk, Amazon's boss Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Barack Obama and Kanye Wes are among the many prominent US top dogs targeted by hackers. Their official Twitter accounts were hacked, requesting donations in cryptocurrencies or offering to double any payment sent to them In his tween, Elon Musk was offering to double any Bitcoin payment sent to his digital wallet
Apple was ready to support the community and double any payment, whileBill Gates was giving back $2000 for any $1000 sent.
Twitter said it was a "co-ordinated" attack targeting its employees "with access to internal systems and tools" The BBC found out that the web address - cryptoforhealth.com - was behind the attacks, and some hacked tweets were linked to the email address mkeyworth5@gmail.com. The name Anthony Elias was used for the registration. Cryptoforhealth was also an Instagram, which was set up during the hack. The Instagram profile posted the following message: "It was a charity attack. Your money will find its way to the right place." My dear friends, please stay alert and never believe such things, no one is giving thousands of dollars for free, or offers to double your Bitcoin. Be smart and avoid this kind of amazing offers.

"Charity hack" - brought to you by the people who think they know better what to do with your money than you yourself. That actually sounds like the government was behind the hack. 😂🙈
It was someone who could target the personal accounts of Twitter employees and hack other accounts through the info they got from them. Someone with this power definitely is gov level
instead of hacking twitter, these guys should just hack rusty make the necessary corrections to the code.
Rusty is hack-proof. Anyway... I am happy with his behaviour
glad to see rusty has visited and was generous!
Rusty was amazing today....
👊
As the Democrats keep saying it's still too early to call the election it'll month's before we have a president. We live in a president presidentless county right now
As an outsider... I feel that no proper candidate was available for 2020
We haven't had a proper candidate since Kennedy
I Began reading this and thought that biden had won. =S Not from american granted so i havn't paid too much attention hour by hour. I remember something about this, but very little. glad to be a small fish XD
My apologies for the confusion. I edited the title to avoid it
awesome! lol not a big deal of course, just trying to be helpful!
It wasn't meant as bait-click, just an unfortunate choice of words :D
lol maybe unfortunate... but i am totally subscribing XD
How much did this hack generated?
Quite a lot but no clear figures were shared, as it was impossible to track all the victims
