Authenticated Twitter Accounts Are Players Fans Musk And Bitcoin Scams Ahead Of SNL Initially

Several reliable Twitter accounts began flooding in with Elon Musk and his followers responding with bitcoin spam on Saturday. The hacks that appear are coming just hours before the Tesla general manager discusses the gameplay Saturday Night Live.

The next deception Malware Hunter Group shared several views of authentic Twitter accounts that appear to have been hijacked in an attempt to harass Musk’s friends. These include valid accounts of Argentine politicians, a Korean human rights group, and a Paralympic athlete, among others.

In both cases, the account changed its name to “SNL” and changed its image to match the elder Saturday Night Live story. The modified accounts responded to Musk’s tweets and urged users to “join” any event by clicking the link to receive 5,000 bitcoin, worth more than $ 295 million at the time.

The link leads to a post on Medium, which you can see in the image below, from user Elon Musk who claims to be from Tesla HQ’s advertising department. Below Musk’s image, which announces “Offers of 5000 BTC,” is a link to the “competition” page where users can try to get one of three electronic devices – Bitcoin, Ether, or Dogecoin – for free.

All links were broken during our search, but Business Insider apparently he had a good chance. On Saturday, it also said that the “competition” page included the Tesla logo and asked users to send “from 0.02 to 5 BTC to the address below and return from .20 to 50 BTC!”

Scammers also responded to official Twitter accounts of Tesla, SNL, and guest singer this week, Miley Cyrus, a similar advertiser on cryptocurrency fraud. Among the list of verified accounts also included an Argentine politician Jorge Taiana, Korea’s Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (ACRC), jewelry and watchmaker Mouawad, a sprinter and paralympic medalist Shelly Woods, and a nonprofit organization Hockey Saves.

We also visited the Malware Hunter Team with Tesla, although it should be noted that the latter did not say much to the media from then on closed his PR department Obviously he said. However, we will update this blog if we hear.

By Saturday afternoon, most of the stolen accounts appear to be back to normal, though some have been slower than others to change their profile and clear their reputations. As of Saturday afternoon, the iconic Woods profile is still the SNL logo, with ACRC’s answer history showing several spam records. We filmed below, which includes the fact that users can access 100 million Dogecoin by clicking on this link.
