All of Twitter hacked?

A hacker, or hackers, breached a large portion Twitter on July 15, including the accounts of Coinbase, Gemini, the Tron Foundation and other businesses, as well as personal accounts including Charlie Lee, Justin Sun and a number of crypto influencers. 

The hack stretches far beyond simply crypto, however, as even Elon Musk and Bill Gates saw their Twitter accounts hacked around the same time. 

The hacks range from partnership announcements and Bitcoin (BTC) giveaways, to fake paid trading groups.
