Report: Hackers targeted 130 of Twitter’s most popular accounts in shocking attack

Hackers targeted about 130 Twitter accounts in their unprecedented attack on some of the platform’s most visible users this week, the company revealed.

The attackers were only able to take over a “small subset” of the targeted accounts — including those owned by Apple, Uber, Kanye West and Elon Musk — that they used to post fraudulent tweets, Twitter said in a statement late Thursday.

The FBI and other law-enforcement authorities are also probing the attack, in which hackers infiltrated more than a dozen high-profile Twitter accounts to push a bitcoin scam. The affected accounts belonged to major business and political figures including Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg and Warren Buffett.

More than 400 payments worth $121,000 flowed into three bitcoin addresses mentioned in the bogus tweets, according to Elliptic, a cryptocurrency analysis firm. The majority of the money came from Asia-based exchanges — including a single payment worth $42,000 — but about a quarter of the proceeds likely came from North American victims, Elliptic said.

Google faces $5 billion lawsuit in U.S. for tracking 'private' internet use

From a report at the link below:

Google was sued on Tuesday in a proposed class action accusing the internet search company of illegally invading the privacy of millions of users by pervasively tracking their internet use through browsers set in “private” mode.

The lawsuit seeks at least $5 billion, accusing the Alphabet Inc unit of surreptitiously collecting information about what people view online and where they browse, despite their using what Google calls Incognito mode.

According to the complaint filed in the federal court in San Jose, California, Google gathers data through Google Analytics, Google Ad Manager and other applications and website plug-ins, including smartphone apps, regardless of whether users click on Google-supported ads.

This helps Google learn about users’ friends, hobbies, favorite foods, shopping habits, and even the “most intimate and potentially embarrassing things” they search for online, the complaint said.
