Earlier today, multiple official twitter accounts got hacked. The official twitter accounts of Elon Musk, Coindesk, Coinbase, Gemini, CZ (Binance), Justin Sun, Charlie Lee, and others got hacked earlier today and they are promoting a BTC Giveaway.

Charles Hoskinson, the CEO and Founder of Cardano started a live video less than an hour ago and tried to spread the news as much as he could. He also stated that they are taking all necessary measures to prevent this from happening to their accounts as well, but also advised everyone to not participate in any giveaway of BTC coming from their accounts.

Scammers have been finding new innovative methods to trick people into sending them cryptocurrency payments for different giveaways, and many people are losing their investments because they are quick to believe in these scams.

So far, the scammers have managed to raise over 11 BTC from people who believed in their lies. Only on Elon Musk’s account, they published 3 tweets with their giveaway scam.

Please be aware of scammers and impersonators in the cryptocurrency space, same as any other industry, the crypto industry is not free of low-level individuals.

Be aware! Stay Safe!
