  I saw one of those Ethereum scambot dopplegangers on a high profile tweet that was verified. Really looked awful and definitely caused more damage since people are trained to trust it.

    Any hacker that manages to get the credentials of any verified user can just change that account's name and picture to that of a famous person for easy impersonation.
