Obama and Biden's Twitter accounts were compromised. It could have been way worse.

Former President Barack Obama and presidential candidate Joe Biden have been compromised. They're part of a major Twitter hack targeting public figures and politicians. 

Considering the influence that political figures — one in particular — wield on Twitter, the world is lucky that all the people behind this seem to want is bitcoin. 

So far, they've also hijacked the accounts of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Uber, Apple, and other celebs, companies, and major players in the cryptocurrency world. The compromised accounts are trying to get people to send them bitcoin.
