Prolific Elon Musk Bitcoin Scammer Continues on Twitter, Thousands Stolen Everyday
Last week I did a write-up about the “.net twitter scammer” (named after its affinity for using .net domain names).
The scammer continues undeterred. To recap:
The scammer is somehow able to hack into thousands of twitter accounts everyday. I could be exploiting some vulnerability unbeknownst to twitter. There is no way to contact twitter about this. It does no good to report the accounts because there are simply too many of them. I am sure twitter is aware of the problem but for some reason is unable to intervene.
example:
It target Elon Musk but also Binance and other major brand and personalities
Binance:
Shibu inu scams:
Elon Musk:
There are thousands of these hacked accounts. To list them all would require many pages.
Uses .net domains
bstream. net/SHIBA-GIVEAWAY/
bitsteam . net
Makes tons of money. By my estimate it has earned $700k in the past month alone in combined Shiba, BTC, and other tokens. This more money than even most ransomware gangs. A major payout is in the 100k range, yet this scammer can earn that much in a day.
Here are some recent wallets from an Elon Musk scam:

It ads up to 1 btc stolen in just a single day. Amazing. It does this every time Elon tweets, so you can see how much money we’re talking about. 20 tweets= $1.2 million at today’s prices.
Little to no media coverage, no law enforcement involvement. Whereas ransomware makes the headlines, and even Biden is involved, giving unwanted attention to the criminals, giveaway scams largely run under the radar. This is perfect from the perspective of criminals.
