You send $1000, I send back $2000!
Only doing this for the next 30 minutes "

Apple (Twitter page ):
" We are giving back to our community

It was a charity attack your money will find its way to the right place."

All accounts have been hacked at the same time :rolleyes:

Now the questions are Bitcoin is safe?
Twitter is safe?

Asking from ignorance, but wouldn't just reporting this exploit to Twitter be more profitable (besides possibly landing you a awesome job and being completely legal)? No way the chance to write on the accounts of most powerful mens in the world is only worth 100k.
 
Bitcoin is more safer that's why they used it.

Who actually care Social Media safe or not.
 
It's not about if Social Media is safe,as twitter also said that they somehow got access to one of their Employee's laptop/pc,otherwise they wouldn't have been able to do it.

I think that social media is safe but there can sometimes be some exploits which is a benefit for the hackers.Overall I don't think Twitter's security had some issue.
 
From what i read it wasnt a matter of software security but it was a human hack where they social engineered employees probably through phishing etc...Always remember the human element behind technology.
