Twitter称本周发生的网络黑客事件中约有130个账户是攻击目标

推特公司美国周四晚些时候披露，在本周的网络黑客事件中，约130个账户成为攻击目标，许多知名人士和组织的资料被泄露。黑客曾进入Twitter的内部系统，美国总统候选人乔-拜登、真人秀明星金-卡戴珊、美国前总统奥巴马和亿万富翁埃隆-马斯克的账号被盗用。被黑客攻击的名人账户还包括说唱歌手坎耶-韦斯特、亚马逊公司创始人杰夫-贝佐斯、投资人沃伦-巴菲特、微软公司联合创始人比尔-盖茨，以及优步科技公司和苹果公司的企业账户。

Twitter重申，它正在与受影响的账户所有者合作。美国联邦调查局旧金山分局正在牵头调查这起黑客攻击事件，华盛顿的许多立法者也要求对事件发生的过程作出说明。执法机构表示，网络攻击者在此次事件中实施了加密货币欺诈。公开的区块链记录显示，诈骗者收到了价值超过10万美元的加密货币。"我们仍在评估未来可以采取的长期措施，并尽快向大家分享更多细节，"Twitter在声明中补充道。

Twitter Inc disclosed late on Thursday that hackers targeted about 130 accounts during the cyber attack this week, an incident in which profiles of many prominent personalities and organizations were compromised. Hackers had accessed Twitter’s internal systems to hijack some of the platform’s top voices including U.S. presidential candidate Joe Biden, reality TV star Kim Kardashian, former U.S. President Barack Obama and billionaire Elon Musk.
The high-profile accounts that were hacked also included rapper Kanye West, Amazon.com Inc founder Jeff Bezos, investor Warren Buffett, Microsoft Corp co-founder Bill Gates, and the corporate accounts for Uber Technologies Inc and Apple Inc.

Twitter reiterated that it was working with impacted account owners. The FBI’s San Francisco division is leading an inquiry into the hacking, with many Washington lawmakers also calling for an accounting of how it happened. The law enforcement agency said that cyber attackers committed cryptocurrency fraud in the incident. Publicly available blockchain records show the apparent scammers received more than $100,000 worth of cryptocurrency. “We’re still in the process of assessing longer-term steps that we may take and will share more details as soon as we can,” Twitter added in its statement.  source
