Numerous major Twitter accounts including those of presidential candidate Joe Biden, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Uber, Apple, and more, appear to have been the victims of a hacking campaign on Wednesday afternoon, after posting similarly-worded tweets directing followers to hand over bitcoins.

Events kicked off when the Twitter accounts for major cryptocurrency platforms Coinbase, Gemini, and Binance, among others, all put out tweets minutes apart stating they had partnered up with an organization called CryptoForHealth and that they would be “giving back 5000 BTC to the community.” The tweets all included a link to a site that has been tagged by Google and Cloudflare as a phishing site.
