According to sources, Twitter cryptocurrency scammers have hacked the official account of Target, a American retail company. Reportedly, this was done in a bid to promote Bitcoin.

Hackers pushed links onto the official Twitter account of the retail company which persuaded users to send small amount of bitcoins offering them a chance to win 5000 BTC (about $30 Million). However, Target has not yet confirmed the news and it is still not clear how successful the attack was.

Recently, scammers had hacked the US and Israeli politicians’ accounts. They had also hacked the official account of the Indian Consulate in Frankfurt. As a result, the scammers used these accounts to push fake malicious links asking naive users to send money against various bogus services.
