Place your bets, phishing or bug exploit. Some of these targets are too high profile to all fall for it and probably have teams that manage these accounts securely. Edit: 2fa was bypassed, interesting. https://twitter.com/tylerwinklevoss/status/12834920178892595...
Hackers take over prominent Twitter accounts in simultaneous attack

#52Elon Musk as well. Tweets still up, saying "Feeling greatful, doubling all payments sent to my BTC address! You send $1,000, I send back $2,000! Only doing this for the next 30 minutes." As of now, 121 people have sent cash totally more than 2.5BTC. Edit: Just seen @BillGates compromised as well, same bitcoin account. Edit 2: Elon's tweet seems to be getting removed, and then reposted again shortly after. About $40k…
Where did you get the 2.5BTC number from? It's more like 1.3BTC by looking up the address on their website. https://bitref.com/bc1qxy2kgdygjrsqtzq2n0yrf2493p83kkfjhx0wl... Edit: I stand corrected. Holy crap!

#53Whoever hacked Twitter today definitely got major access to their backend: https://twitter.com/whoisjuan/status/1283502962103455744?s=2...
> Whoever hacked @Twitter today definitely got major access to their backend Is there any proof Twitter was hacked and not just these two accounts?
- Apple
- Bill Gates
- Elon Musk
- Jeff Bezos
- Joe Biden
- Barack Obama
- Michael Bloomberg
- Kanye West
- Wiz Khalifa
- Bitcoin
- Ripple
- Coinbase
- BINANCE
- CZ_Binance
- Gemini
- Kucoin
- Gate .io
- Coindesk
- Tron
- Justin Sun
- Charlee Lee
That seems like someone got full access to the backend, not the accounts per se.
Also worth mentioning that the tweets get deleted but then they get added and pinned again.

Those are both tiny sums anyway.
