“Why not Monero?” asks hacker who took over Twitter with Bitcoin scamBTC $9130 (-0.6%) • ETH $232 (-2.3%) • XRP $0.192 (-2.7%)
Hackers behind the Twitter breach early on Thursday embedded a Monero (XMR) centric message on several of their Bitcoin transactions—paying $11 in costs to do so. “You take risks when you use Bitcoin for your Twitter game, why not Monero,” read seven different wallets. Hackers altered the recipient wallet addresses to include personalized alphanumeric keys, choosing to go with the pro-Monero stance. Monero is a private cryptocurrency famed for masking wallet and transactional information. This is unlike Bitcoin or most others—whose pseudonymous nature allows analytics firms to trace wallet activity to individual users.
