If you’re waking up just now like me, all of us missed Twitter‘s most dramatic and biggest hack of all time. Here’s what happened: some hackers took over accounts of many high profile accounts such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Apple, Uber, Kim Kardashian, and Bill Gates, and tweeted about…well, Bitcoin.

The hacker(s) even successfully got some money from folks who fell for the scam. As Bitcoin transactions are traceable to an extent, you can see how much money a Bitcoin wallet address is holding. The wallet being linked to the hackers shows that they managed to steal nearly $120,000 from people.
