Twitter Cryptocurrency Scam

Twitter Cryptocurrency Scam

By CyB3RNooB | CyB3RNooBs Posts | 16 Jul 2020


Hello everyone. Earlier today it seems that high profile Twitter accounts have been hacked and offering crypto in return to people who send crypto to the address. Seems that in 30 minutes the hackers were able to steal about $109,000. This does not look good on Twitter because now users will second guess Twitters security. This is all over the news and it makes crypto look really bad, so this is more ammo for the no coiners. This hack just goes to show that people are ruthless in stealing peoples BTC, and will go through whatever measures in order to do it. I hope that Twitter can fix the issues they have, and hopefully block chain analysis companies will be able to alert exchanges and red flag the stolen BTC from being sold on exchanges.

I have been in the space since 2015 and I have learned that, if it sounds too good to be true..it is. Never send crypto to an address in hopes of receiving more than you sent.. once you send it.. its gone. Never give private keys to anyone.. many people are still new to the space and will get burned unfortunately.

The hackers did not and do not care about who they targeted, using public figures to lure unsuspecting victims  to steal their BTC is plain out wrong . It really makes me angry, I want to see adoption in the space, not wild wild west of crypto still going...Well this is all I am gonna rant about this evening. I hope you like my post and give it a thumbs up if you like it and if not, a thumbs down.

I have been in the crypto space since April of 2016. I have learned so much about it, from learning to mine crypto to using wallets to send transactions. By no means am I an expert at all, I am an enthusiast in the space.

I am new to blogging and am going to give it a try. There is much information in the crypto space that people need to be more informed and educated. Whether it is mining related, upcoming projects, exchanges , or just current news.
