Cryptocurrency Scam Spreads Across High-Profile Twitter Accounts

Several high-profile Twitter accounts have been hacked in a cryptocurrency scam. Scamsters are manipulating followers into paying Bitcoin addresses to double payments. Apple, Bitcoin, Coindesk, Uber, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg, and Kanye West are among those affected. It’s unclear how widespread the incident is, but so far the scammers have collected at least $103,000. It is so far unclear whether the activity can be attributed to individual account hacks or a larger Twitter compromise.”]
