    my wife has a wallet and knows how to use seed phrases.  both kids have mm accounts but are not super savvy about how they work just yet, but they are in middle school.  all pw and seed phrases are in a safe, but still need to go and list the credentials/pw/2fa for the centralized exchanges.  I think stuff like this will be rolled into what should be a burgeoning tax/accounting service for crypto.   after i get hit by a bus, i think my fam could at least find my crypto stuff.  whether they would sell my animal jpegs for pennies on the dollar is another story.

    what if they don't? Then all your savings are gone😁

    https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/15/21326200/elon-musk-bill-gates-twitter-hack-bitcoin-scam-compromised

    The Twitter accounts of major companies and individuals have been compromised in one of the most widespread and confounding hacks the platform has ever seen, all in service of promoting a bitcoin scam that appears to be earning its creator quite a bit of money. We don’t know how it’s happened or even to what extent Twitter’s own systems may have been compromised. The hack is ongoing, with new tweets posting to verified accounts on a regular basis starting shortly after 4PM ET.

    It all began when Elon Musk’s Twitter account was seemingly compromised by a hacker intent on using it to run a bitcoin scam. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates also had his account seemingly accessed by the same scammer, who posted a similar message with an identical bitcoin wallet address. Both accounts are continuing to post new tweets promoting the scam almost as fast as they are deleted. A spokesperson for Gates tells Recode’s Teddy Schleifer, “We can confirm that this tweet was not sent by Bill Gates. This appears to be part of a larger issue that Twitter is facing. Twitter is aware and working to restore the account.”

    Shortly after the initial wave of tweets from Gates and Musk’s accounts, the accounts of Apple, Uber, former President Barack Obama, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, hip-hop mogul Kanye West, and former New York City mayor and billionaire Mike Bloomberg, among others, were also compromised and began promoting the scam.

    It’s unclear how widespread the operation is, but it appears to be affecting numerous major companies and extremely high-profile individuals. That suggests someone, or a group, has either found a severe security loophole in Twitter’s login process or third-party app, or that the perpetrator has somehow gained access to a Twitter employee’s admin privileges.

    It is interesting that there are people who refuse to believe in deception and want easy money.

    Very interesting. It's been more than a year. But the posts from the scammers still sometimes appear on Twitter.

    Blackmail letter?

     

    I got one the other day demanding $9,600 be put into BTC wallet. The explanation of steps to get BTC was 1 1/2 pages and the wallet id code was a full line of random digits.

     

    It probably isn't worth it for $100, but I believe most daylabor-type money changing/sending places have posters claiming they can do something with BTC, so you might try that.

     

     

    Did you manage to put money into your wallet and get bitcoins?

    Where are y'all selling random shit you're just looking to get rid of? I'm trying to finish off my Marie Kondo style purge I started a couple years back. 

    If you don't need the stuff, then do a charity shout-out. I think you can get rid of them faster that way.
