Twitter account hack: Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, others hit in Bitcoin scam; here is what happened
Social media was sent into a tizzy late last night after Twitter accounts of several high profile leaders were hacked. Unidentified hackers broke into the Twitter accounts of financial and technology moguls, politicians, celebrities and major companies Wednesday in an apparent Bitcoin scam.
In what appeared to be cryptocurrency fraud, fake tweets were sent out from these accounts, offering to send $2,000 for every $1,000 sent to an anonymous Bitcoin address.
