The epidemic of Twitter-based Bitcoin scams took another twist this week as attackers tweeted scams directly from two verified high-profile accounts. Criminals sent posts from both Googles G Suite account and Targets official Twitter account. Cryptocurrency giveaway scams work by offering money to victims.
