The Apple Twitter account wasn’t the only one used to tweet the same bitcoin scam; other official Twitter accounts that belong to super famous artists, businessmen and politicians – including Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Kanye West, and Joe Biden – were also hacked and used to spread the same bitcoin scam. The scam tweet was asking people to send bitcoin to the address attached to the tweet; the scam tweet also claimed that it’ll double the amount of bitcoin sent to the stated address, but it was thankfully removed quickly before causing any major problem.

Twitter official

A Twitter official said that the latest scam incident is being currently investigated to discover its origin, and prevent similar incidents from happening again in the future.
