Earlier this afternoon, Cyberscoop indicated in their blog post that multiple different accounts including the running democratic president among others were targeted to send out crypto mining messages through those accounts. This is still developing, I want to see the post mortum report or something official from Twitter on how this happened.
Cyberscoop asked the question whether these accounts had two factor authentication turned on and if that had any effect in the apparent compromise. For details on this continuing developing story, check out this afternoon’s update from Cyberscoop: Scammers hijack Twitter accounts of Joe Biden, Bill Gates and others to promote cryptocurrency and we’ll see what new news we learn as the days continue. Thanks so much for reading!
