A brazen hack that allowed one or more intruders to post on behalf of some of the most prominent Twitter users has only generated $117,000 in bounty as of the morning of July 16.
The attack began in the afternoon on July 15 when prominent cryptocurrency accounts posted similar messages calling on people to deposit bitcoin into an account with a promise that the senders would receive twice their money back. The breach then quickly expanded to major accounts in business and politics, including Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Barack Obama, and Kanye West.
