This is massive incident. Checking the wallet address means a lot of people has been fooled. Twitter should speak and do some damage control here. If the atack is highly coordinated including their employees somehow they are responsible for this. I dont know but this could lead to a long debate and arguements. People could file and sue them for this.

And many people got victimized by this scam? Really, they send their cryptos without first asking if that maybe a big scam? This can be a big lesson to all of us to always be critical of anything especially involving money (or BTC for that matter) and it means opening up your wallet.

Apparently the hack was done by accessing twitter's internal tools, meaning hackers did not hack accounts, but hacked twitter employees with access to internal tools ...
who knew twitter had such tools !

Hackers actually hacked Twitter whole ecosystems. But above person accounts they used to demand giveaway. Very bad news.
