Can You Believe it? Twitter accounts of Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Apple hacked

Postby anilmr » 16 Jul 2020, 06:17

To say that I was shocked, when I read the news that the Twitter accounts of Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Apple have been hacked, would be an understatement. How have you all folks at FC reacted to this unprecedented news? Some of the other big-name Twitter accounts that were compromised include Barack Obama, Kanye West and Joe Biden.

Who is to be blamed here - the account holders or Twitter?

The one that targets Creepy Biden are most likely the Russians because they are BFFs with the Republican party.

The other ones could be a different hacker.

It doesn't surprise me giving the mass hatred of some of those people. Especially the anti vaccine brigade when it comes to bill gates.

Antivaxx people are also Antimask for some reason. They are now making a lot of chaos in Florida.

I just saw the hacked accounts, the hackers are the bitcoin hackers that attacked Youtubers months ago.

I saw this on the news and did wonder like @fergus1234 suggests, if it had anything to do with Old Trumpey boy's Russian friends trying to help him win the elections again. I recently watched a documentary about how Trump won the 2016 elections and it was just shocking. So I wouldn't be surprised if they were at it again. I don't know why Kanye West, Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Apple and Bill Gates would be in the mix.

I'm surprised to hear that. As far as I know, Bill Gates hired some good hackers just because they showed their skills. Maybe they could have done something to protect Bill Gates' accounts a little bit. So I don't really understand the situation ... :)

Confirmed the hackers are bitcoin spammers and hackers. They link the Youtube videos uploaded on the Youtube channels they stole.
