(A) If you see a tweet from a famous person/company asking for Bitcoin and promising to send it back to you double, it‘s a scam. Don‘t do it.

(B) This is a HELL of a vulnerability, Twitter. It needs to be fixed NOW.

I‘ve seen Elon Musk, Apple, and Bill Gates. This isn‘t real.

DO NOT give anyone else your coins. DO NOT.

Also, I‘m guessing it‘s a vulnerability and not a hack—there have been too many blue-check big accounts posting this for it to be a hack IMO.

That means until Twitter fixes this, please keep in mind that people who want to wreak havoc with the system who figure this out may be able to post tweets for others.

By the way, the reason I think “vulnerability” and not “hack” is that they got @Apple, and @Apple (the main account) very famously does not tweet.

This means many of the routes for straight-up hacking are probably not available there.
