Many popular cryptocurrency-related verified Twitter accounts got simultaneously compromised and tweeted an identical “CryptoForHealth” scam message. The hackers are shilling a scam-site to try and get individuals to send them Bitcoin.

Complete list of hacked accounts so far: – @cz_binance – @AngeloBTC – @SatoshiLite – @bitcoin – @justinsuntron – @binance – @coinbase – @Tronfoundation – @kucoincom – @bitfinex – @elonmusk – @kucoincom

It’s unclear what entity hacked into the accounts or how they were able to gain access, though some Twitter comments suspect it may be a hack of Twitter’s application programming interface (API), a computing point of contact between two networks that allow certain interactions between the two.

Some twitter users claim that hackers got access to “Twitter Panel”, which is basically hacking one of the Twitter admins/employees. This gives direct admin access to accounts and allows individuals to chance e-mail & password.

Stay tuned for updates.

Egyptian National Police (ENP) have smashed a mining farm for mining Ethereum cyrptocurrency and arrested a man in Badr City (located north east in the Cairo Governorate).

Ethereum (ETH) is just like Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency, that is a decentralised digital currency without a central bank or single administrator that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer Eth network without the need for intermediaries.

We were tipped off about the presence of a sophisticated computerized system at an address in Badr City that are being used to illegally mine cryptocurrencies

Quoted from the MOI’s press release

During Badr City’s mining farm raid, police have seized 19 mining rigs that were used in the “Illegal mining” operations. Mining farm is a data center, technically equipped with dedicated computers or miners to mine cryptocurrencies.

One man was arrested on charges of money laundering through cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are illegal in Egypt. It may still be possible for Egyptians to acquire Bitcoins through online cryptocurrency exchanges or by purchasing Bitcoins from Facebook and Telegram crypto groups, however, that would be illegal.
