My bet is on one of those social media managers like Hootsuite/Social Blade/Buffer getting hacked.

- blocked_again 6y agoProbably not. A lot of accounts with hardly any followers are also tweeting the scam. Search the bitcoin address to see the tweets in real time.
- bfm 6y agoLooks like Hootsuite Twitter integration has been having issues for 50 mins now https://status.hootsuite.com/post/623750375373160449/twitter-publishing-issues https://status.hootsuite.com/post/623750375373160449/twitter....
- vmception 6y agoI’m currently leaning towards Twitter tried a bunch of things to stop this and hootsuite got caught in the fray Or maybe it was a multipronged attack that included social media management software and OAuth but the hilarious most visible solution is that Twitter now disabled all verified accounts and they should keep it that way
- bfm 6y agoYou're probably right. After reading through https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/ https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/ it looks like Twitter has been disabling some features. And according to https://twitter.com/louanben/status/1283518716118958080/photo/1 https://twitter.com/louanben/status/1283518716118958080/phot... the @TwitterSupport account was also affected. I doubt they use a system like HootSuite for that account.
