In mid-July 2020, several high-profile Twitter accounts—including for brands like Apple and Uber, as well as individuals like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos—were compromised in an unprecedented attack. The attack was done by a Florida-based teenager, who has agreed to plead guilty in exchange for a three-year prison sentence.

 

18-year-old Graham Ivan Clark took control of the many high-profile Twitter accounts last year and used them to solicit more than USD 100,000 (RM411,800) in Bitcoin. The Twitter accounts shared similar messages promising to “double your bitcoin” if you transfer some to a particular wallet address.

Different bitcoin scams are rather widespread now. You have to remember about it and secure yourself. Often it happens during getting the profit from cryptos exchange. Personally, I discover how to calculate crypto gains correctly with the help of a special calculator. I haven't expected that there are such modern technologies in cryptocurrencies trading that will make a lot of things easier
