The Twitter account belonging to former Vice President Joe Biden was hacked on Wednesday, the account belonging to former President Barack Obama was hacked shortly after.
Many other massive figures and accounts were also hacked, including Jeff Bezos, Kanye West, Mike Bloomberg, Elon Musk, Uber, Warren Buffet, Apple and Bill Gates.
The tweet was live on Biden’s page for less than two minutes.
“I am giving back to my community due to Covid-19!” said the tweet from Obama’s account, which has since been deleted. “All Bitcoin sent to my address below will be sent back doubled. If you send $1,000, I will send back $2,000!”
The hackers used the accounts to request money be sent to a Bitcoin wallet, which raked in tens of thousands of dollars in minutes. They claimed that any funds would be returned to the sender, doubled.
“It’s unclear how widespread the operation is, but it appears to be affecting major companies and extremely high-profile individuals, suggesting that someone has either found a severe security loophole in Twitter’s login process or third-party app, or that the perpetrator has somehow gained access to a Twitter employee’s admin privileges,” the Verge reports.
The first scam tweet appears to have been at 4:17PM ET from Elon Musk’s account. It said, “I‘m feeling generous because of Covid-19. I’ll double any BTC payment sent to my BTC address for the next hour. Good luck, and stay safe out there!” It also contained the address of the crypto wallet being used in all of the hacked tweets.
The original tweet from Musk’s account was quickly deleted, but another one went right up.

Epstein did it. Hes not dead, ya know.
If you are a billionaire or a Former POTUS or Vice POTUS I have to imagine they have two-step verification on their account. I have not attained near this level of wealth and notoriety and I have two-step verification on my social media accounts. Something smells!
Inside job or password is not a good password ,LOL
The real messages hackers found:
BH Obama: You got it bad? Really? I sit in here sheltering in place with the nastiest nagging shrew in the world. Goes on Zoom and thinks it’s funny to put me into a chokehold until I roll my eyes upward and pass out, then she drops me hard. When I come to I hear the Zoom friends laughing hysterically.
J.Biden: Big mouth Jill belittles me all day and night because she can remember so many things at one time and I can’t any more. When I finally get to out of the basement she nags and nags “Did you remember your Depends? Did you remember your Depends? Just because I usually forget. So, a few bucks at the dry cleaners again, so what, right? What am I a candidate for again?
I ask myself, who could be so stupid to send a grand to an obvious scam like this? Then I remember that more than half the population regularly vote for Democrats, and it makes a sort of sense.
“The Twitter account belonging to former Vice President Joe Biden was hacked on Wednesday.”
FAKE NEWS
There is NO WAY to tell if a bunch of incoherent words from Biden means someone else has control over his account.
But nice try!
All Your Social Media Are Belong To Us
Clearly it was President Trump and the RUSSIANS who done it.
“”””Inside job or password is not a good password ,LOL”””””””
Joes password is CORN POP.
The blamed Trump yet?
It was the first time that Biden tweeted out something coherent..EVER..since Obama’s twitter account was hacked, what are the odds we can get hold of his college transcripts
I've seen that on Twitter. Beware of that message.
You mean “password12345” might not be a good idea?
That actually wouldn’t surprise me.
As a long time computer tech, I can attest that 90% of the people who brought their computers in had passwords that made access really easy.
John Podesta got hacked for 2 reasons.
1. He replied to a phishing email...stupid
2. His password was “password”...double stupid with cherries on top.
Not long after, we were all browsing through his emails on Wikileaks...
And people were foolish enough to think it was real and gave money?
Twitter has now suspended all verified accounts (blue check)
So President Trump cannot tweet now.
Now you know why the attack happened .
Lol.
