The thing about #bitcoin #scams like this is you can watch how much they're making, in real time:
blockchain.com/btc/address/bc…
$113,785.66 and counting...
*sigh* The sheer lack of ambition of some criminals these days...
(Theory: no-one sane would want to 'take charge of' this shit-show, and only the truly evil would want even MORE chaos?)
If you check the wallet, they seem to have topped out at about $117 grand's-worth of the hottest 13 #BTC on the planet right now...
N.B. It appears @Twitter now blocks any tweet containing the wallet address - including ones linking directly to web pages that allow you to check activity around it.
BTW, "coordinated social engineering attack" is techie-speak for "our people fucked up".
Like much white-collar crime, it's done by - or through fooling - those having #authorised access to central systems.
