Hacking is a very familiar word in the virtual world. Hackers have done a lot of big things before. However, experts believe that such an appeal to invest in cryptocurrencies by hacking the Twitter handles of influential people is quite fancy.

The incident started on Wednesday. Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Silicon Valley giant Uber, Apple all have their Twitter accounts hacked. Politicians like Barack Obama and Joe Biden were not left out. Posted on social media from everyone's Twitcher handle, if they are given a thousand dollars in bitcoin or cryptocurrency in half an hour, it will quickly double. Bitcoin or cryptocurrency is a type of virtual coin. Through this money can be exchanged in the virtual world. This type of currency is banned in many countries of the world. That being said, the whole thing is encrypted to keep such exchanges secret. This type of currency is also widely used in online gambling.

But the net world is a bit surprised on Wednesday. Because, influential people and some organizations demand money through that currency. Many people think it is a new game. However, as the matter spread, some people tweeted that it was a scam. People from whose accounts such posts have been made have been hacked. No one should fall into the trap.
