On Wednesday, Twitter Security was breached by hackers.
Prominent accounts belonging to Joe Biden, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Apple, President Barack Obama, Kanye West, Mike Bloomberg and more were compromised.
Hackers proceeded to posted tweets to spread a cryptocurrency scam. Each hacked account posted the same message stating, “We have partnered with CryptoForHealth and are giving back 5000 BTC to the community.” This was followed by a link to a website. The Sizzle Report is not sharing the hacker’s link.
Twitter Support Responded Tweeting, "We are aware of a security incident impacting accounts on Twitter. We are investigating and taking steps to fix it. We will update everyone shortly."
Then many verified accounts were stopped from posting Tweets. Non-verified accounts were still able to Tweet without interruption.
Twitter Support also posted, “You may be unable to Tweet or reset your password while we review and address this incident.”
To be clear the Twitter Authorization System was hacked and so this reportedly wasn’t related to individual password security.
