It's amusing that this is so successful only because of all the people posting their triumphant screenshots of success in losing all their money.
All it takes is 100 gullible people to net $100k, and there's a lot more than 100 gullible people on Twitter.
And it all happened in the span of 20 minutes. Can we expect any better response in the hopes of preventing this next time assuming all the accounts are hacked already? Or does the nature of realtime media and hundreds of bored eyes sitting on wads of cryptocurrency getting to it first mean it's just game over?
I remember the golden days of messing up people's lives over digital terminals, where the most they'd do was wipe your harddisk or warn the user of something vaguely ominous on the third Tuesday of April like "the Reaper's gonna get you" or play an 80's Top Ten number rendered through the PC speaker all of the sudden scaring you to death.
From here on out it's always going to be about money, and to me that's just boring and sad.
