The recent hack of Twitter in the middle of last month, made many users worry. Especially the rumors about how the security of the social media app was breached
Experts say hackers used a new method of attack
It should be recalled that on July 15, some well-known accounts became victims, as they were compromised by the use of hosting fraudulent Bitcoin giveaways.
A small part of the population — people who did not feel any danger because they did not know about this, became the victims, and lost their crypto assets.
After the attack, Twitter decided to restrict the functions of most verified accounts for a while, which caused jokes from users.
It was only after an investigation was conducted that it was revealed that the hack was only a small part of a large ruse to deceive thousands of unsuspecting crypto enthusiasts.
It is unclear how hackers got into the system, and became able to access the accounts of the elite around the world. According to security experts, most people are aware of such scams, but no one suspected a threat from public people’s social media accounts.
Most experts pointed out that no optimal security is possible when it comes to social media.
