Summary

Twitter is under a, as of right now, ongoing hack via well known Twitter Handles like Elon Musk, Jeff Bazos, Uber and others. Looks like Nigerian Prince.

My thoughts

Unsure what to think, its probably a highly sophisticated hack.

Neat, wonder if my twitter acc got hit again. Feels like every time I have some reason to log in and look it's been hacked again somehow lmao

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I just looked at it, and I think most (maybe all) of the hacked tweets were deleted already.

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

Quote or tag me so I can see your response

Apparently, they deleted and reposted multiple times.

As of right now it appears about 100,000 USD worth of bitcoin has been sent to that account. Ouch.

But also this.

Before the sent value was less,  so probably count that too? Not sure how exactly it works.

Holy Sh*t, apparentally that bad guy made a ton of cash in a few short minutes:

 

You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile.

 

I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here.

 

If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick.

I'm wondering if it's actually under control, or if they've just deleted any tweets with that btc address and/or blocked tweets with a btc address. I guess we'll see if anything comes back up.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This one scares me, he seems like the type to actually do something like this. People that haven't seen this happening might just believe this one.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sounds like a twitter employee who had access to user account management panel had their login compromised which then enabled this...

 

or an app updated with a rouge permission that allowed tweeting to their account..
