Barak Obama, Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Apple and others were hacked during the unprecedented attack on Twitter

Accounts of major companies and private persons on Twitter have been compromised in result of one of the most sophisticated attacks ever seen on the platform, with the aim of scam operations with BTCs.

Hack of the year

It remains unknown how exactly the hack happened, and even how Twitter systems could be compromised. But after the unprecedented attack of accounts belonging to different people including Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg, Apple and the others, Twitter took form action and started to block all new Twits no matter whether their account had been hacked or not, and blocking all compromised accounts as well.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk was the first hacked account that published an odd Twit on Wednesday promising to double any amount sent to BTC address. Gullible subscribers have already transferred $ 101 thousand

As Twitter representatives announced, the system was not going to regain any access until “it is clear we can do this securely”.
