Could it have been done by the U.S Army? I recently saw an article that said the U.S army department is getting serious about developing a cryptocurrency tracker. Could be they planned the attack to create controversy about the dangers of bitcoin and subliminally influence the wealthy private investors to partake in their crypto-tracker program. |

loneprof: The thing with scam is most people not into it always like to assume it is very difficult. This could be a simple phishing scam but whoever is behind it decided to only high profile s. Trust me, you won't believe how many people fall for the "please your email" spam messages they get from their "email providers" ![]() 3 Likes 1 Share |

myles16:Stop saying what you don't know. Nigerians where? That's too extreme for an average Nigerian. Even this hackers couldn't hack directly. What they did was to breach the of a Twitter then from there gain access to high profile s. 1 Like |

HitlerGaddafi: They don't even have to breach any . They can speak directly to those Twitter employees. Stuff is during that work at home period, those employees had access to the company's systems at home. Any spouse , boyfriend or girlfriend with fraudulent intention could pull that off. Social engineering hacking does not need any superior computer skills to execute. It is as simple as logging into your Nairaland and changing your profile picture as long as you have the to . 1 Like |

correctguy2010: I never said a Nigerian did it, but you're all mentioning Russia like they're no Nigerians in Russia, I said he shouldn't underestimate Nigerians too that's all....plus don't be too sure it was a Russian that pulled that, it was just a single bitcoin wallet for all and it's only Nigerians that uses that dull Bitcoin format |

fairheart:Stop arguing with them. It's one thing to buy tools to hack with, it's another thing to create your own tool out of nowhere that perfectly suits the havoc you want to wreck. Nigerians aren't there yet. There are levels to these things. Many people think we are intelligent because one naija dey go UK carry first class come back or because one naija dey head one institution for abroad. Lol lots of Indians and Asians and people from Africa are travelling there to and going back home with first class, making waves so what's the noise for? We too dey hype ourselves and actually Nigerians know nothing. 7 Likes |

loneprof: U are quite correct. Looking at the personalities selected. Bt I’m 100% sure Nigerian scammers are on twitter or hacking profiles the day I saw a pop msg on uba’s Official twitter . It was a a dumby page to ur bvn right there on UBA’s official handle. I was like is this a joke or are they not seeing this pop up page emanating from the handle. It’s was an unusual verification page asking for very personal details to be imputed just to ur bvn for no purpose. Lol I immediately knew it was a hackers phishing page. I forgot to screen save it. So Not surprised by this at all. Twitter has been compromised long ago or atleast 2weeks back when I noticed the unusual. So I can’t completely rule out Nigerian connections either in this. |

mrkels:They made that amount in just 10min bro. If the tweet had been left longer before Twitter deleted and blocked the from tweeting, they would have made a fortune to last a life time in just an hour. |

Las las nothing is safe here but up there. Wealth gathered without being heavenly-minded is as fickle as anything. We are warned, Satan the greatest hacker is just testing the ground with his minuscule. All earthly based wealths are going to end up in his hand during the Antichrist's reign. Jesus forewarns: "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal" Matthew 6:19 2 Likes 1 Share |

HitlerGaddafi: I never said the hacker was a Nigerian, it might be anybody... 1. Hackers hide their identities 2. They look for loop holes before launching their attacks.. that's why most big companies like FB and co pay thousands of dollars to bug hunters and pentesters.. we are humans and can never be perfect even twitter, Facebook and co still have bugs.. if things like this don't happen how would they strengthen their security |

This wasn't the first time Elon Musk's would be hacked. I few months ago I saw a similar message from his twitter referring people to his website. I was confused because that is purely scam. Meanwhile, I observed that apart from the Bitcoin wallet posted on Kardashians , all other address are the same. 1 Like |

Nigerians are such big egotists I have always wondered what makes Nigerians so proud and think we did everything. That we have many Yahoo boys doesn't mean we are smart enough to do this badass hacking. Someone even said her brother can hack Obama's Twitter. Smh. This is not phishing here, Obama and co are much too smart for that. This is the word of Russia and IT wicked Asians. It's like assuming a yahoo boy can hack Pentagon. What kinda pride! Hush puppy with all his money was a dumbass. He was nothing but a picker. I wouldn't be surprised if those who loaded his s were connected to Russian or Chinese or Indian loaders. Hushpuppy was just an man. Find us bank ( which he probably did through dating format) that's all. No tech here. Look Nigerians are not super oo. Don't be fooled. We are just the loudest country in the world. Asians and Indians go to Western universities and rape them properly in Tech and mathematics and medical sciences. Their nations will never shout it. Na norms. Chinese President will never congratulate you for topping Harvard. Na norms. This countries have high honor standards. It is only Nigeria that will be making noise when foreign born Nigerians and black Europeans with roots from here blow( AJ, etc) . These guys are just benefitting from the system. It had nothing to do with Nigeria. Nigeria is great as a big country. But don't ever hype Nigeria. It's the biggest country in Africa so it's normal our guys make big achievements. It's just normal probability. Nigeria has a country is still filled with dumbasses all around. If we are smart how come a dullard rules us. Look at all your politicians. How did they come to rule you? These are guys that wouldn't clean poo is China! Kenya produced US president, no noise, no big hype. The second most powerful ful man in the UK, the lord chancellor of the Exchequer is an Indian. No noise. No hype. We should learn to stop with the hype. It doesn't do well for us. Forget about western trained Nigerians. Nothing is actually great about this Nigeria. Our yahoo boys are just desperate and have the proper environment here because they hands of FBI are not that long and they don't chase petty yahoo boys. Most of the yahoo boys here will be caught within months in the USA. Nothing special. Just simple knock on door and it will be FBI. 24 Likes 2 Shares |
