Hackers hijack high-profile Twitter accounts and request bitcoin

[Jordan Miller]

Twitter accounts belonging to Apple, Uber, Barack Obama, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Joe Biden, Kanye West, and Mike Bloomberg and more were hacked on Wednesday. 

The hackers, under the alias of these high profile accounts, told people to send in bitcoin to a specific address and in return they'll send back double the amount. Obviously, that was the scam.

Twitter is addressing the issue, in what appears to be the platforms largest, most wide-reaching hack to-date.

I personally was having trouble sending out Tweets just now. When I tried, I saw a spam error. After I did a little investigating, I discovered the hashtag #twitterhacked and ran to Exhale.

2020 is so freaking weird y'all.

I used to fall for those all the time, especially the ones that mentioned photos. I was always scared that my n00dz had been leaked.
