Coinbase blocked Twitter hackers from stealing an extra $280K

Bitcoin exchange says it was able to block 1,000 users sending 30.4 bitcoins to Twitter hackers’ wallets. Twitter hacked 130 high-profile accounts last week to push a massive bitcoin scam. Twitter restored tweeting functionality to the affected accounts but said it might still become unavailable during investigation. Twitter said that it found no evidence of the intruders gaining access to the accounts’ passwords and that they will not be reset. Twitter is continuing the forensic review of all accounts targeted in last week’s attack and cooperation with law enforcement.
