Twitter saw a significant break with records of a few noticeable people getting hacked. The hacked account presented messages warning followers to fork up the cryptocurrency.
The records hacked incorporated those having a place with Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Mike Bloomberg, Elon Musk, Kanye West, and others. The corporate records for Uber and Apple were affected during the significant break.
The false tweets offered to send $2,000 for each $1,000 sent to a bitcoin address.
A portion of the false tweets was quickly erased; but, there had all the signs of being a battle to recover control of the records. On account of tycoon Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk, one tweet requesting cryptocurrency was suspended and, at some point later, another showed up.
Here are few of the screen captures of the false tweets:
In an announcement , Twitter said, “We are aware of a security incident impacting accounts on Twitter. We are investigating and taking steps to fix it. We will update everyone shortly”.
“You may be unable to Tweet or reset your password while we review and address this incident,” Twitter said.
