Probably not the intent, but the consequence of the twitter hack was actually a benevolent psyop to remind all world leaders to not take any given tweet too seriously. White hat of the decade. Unironically might have done more for world peace than anyone in 2020.
- SmokeyHamster 6y agoA white hat would not have used a real bitcoin address in the message. This was a gray hat, at best. I'm curious if anyone actually fell for the scam. Considering the millions of people who follow the collective accounts effected, even if 1% were stupid enough to be dupped (and yet know how transfer bitcoin), that might have been quite a windfall for the hacker.
