Bitcoin scammers who have also hacked the Twitter accounts of Tesla chairman Elon Musk, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Microsoft’s co-founder BillGates, and many more have now hacked into Apple’s Twitter account.
Apple users should take care not to think about the false tweet, a bitcoin collection scam. Twitter has deleted fake tweets but regularly posted the scammers who stole the accounts.
The post on Apple Twitter has been deleted. In view of the number of compromised high profile accounts, the hack could have resulted from a security flaw on Twitter.
In fact, Apple does not use its Official Twitter account but reserves itself to submit updates for events and advertising.
UPDATE 1: Twitter says the security breach will be reviewed and patched after the fix is introduced.
We are aware of a security incident impacting accounts on Twitter. We are investigating and taking steps to fix it. We will update everyone shortly.

UPDATE 2: All tweets from verified accounts tend to be deactivated by Twitter, and no one with a verified account can currently tweet.
You may be unable to Tweet or reset your password while we review and address this incident.

UPDATE 3: Most verified Twitter accounts are now once again able to tweet. Twitter continues to work to solve the problem.
Most accounts should be able to Tweet again. As we continue working on a fix, this functionality may come and go. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible.
