Security Alert - Twitter 'Bitcoin doubling' Hack

A lot of famous people were suddenly feeling really generous on
Wednesday. At least, that's what it seemed like if you were on
Twitter. A major hack of the social media site saw many verified
accounts taken over. Including Elon Musk, Kanye West, Jeff Bezos,
Bill Games, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden. All of the hijacked
accounts made the same promise: send me Bitcoin and I'll send you
back double the amount. Judging by the transactions to the
Bitcoin wallet address shared, a lot of people fell for it. Which
leads me to promise you that if you send me bitcoin, I will
triple the amount! OK, just kidding. Here to tell us what we know
about this hack and what companies should be doing as a result,
we're joined by Aaron Shum, practice lead of security at
Info-Tech Research Group.
