I wrote a piece about #phishing adverts on @Twitter a couple of weeks ago. @TwitterSupport had put it about that they had it under control. Here’s the article...

#security #digitaladvertising

Incredibly, it’s still going on. This is a #safety and #privacy issue that is not being addressed by @TwitterSupport.

This time @capgemini_aust are the main target and it is EXACTLY the same promoted advert that I highlighted in my article. link.medium.com/UXh4iZtCMR

The accounts used to legitimise the #scam this time are

@BenAllenCA @azariarachel @ARTNIGHTLDN @AKIpress_com and @67Kelechi.

Once again, all of them are @verified accounts. And this is still live over half an hour after it was posted.

#security #privacy

It still looks like a compromised app to me and it still looks like @twitter need to work on this. As I said before, every time this happens, it weakens the legitimacy of the @TwitterAdsHelp platform.

Just to confirm, here’s the bottom of the tweet to show that it is promoted and look at the level of interaction it is getting - even if only a small percentage of that is real, that could add up to a lot of scammed people losing #bitcoin.
