Big people were victims of data theft
The night of 15-16 was the biggest cyber attack on Twitter ever. In which several high profile Twitter accounts of America were hacked. These included US leaders Joe Biden, Tesla CEO Alan Musk,
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and several important accounts from Apple. A special message was posted from these accounts after the Twitter handle was hacked. A link was posted from their account and Bitcoin was requested. Hacking the Twitter handle claimed that people's bitcoin would be returned by doubling.
