Twitter hackers appear to net $119K from bitcoin scam

Hackers appeared to rake in at least about $119,000 worth of bitcoin after they took over more than a dozen high-profile Twitter accounts Wednesday. One digital wallet linked to the unprecedented attack received about 12.8 bitcoin - worth roughly $117,328 as of Thursday afternoon - after the hackers tweeted its ID number from accounts owned by Elon Musk, Kanye West, Bill Gates, Apple and others, according to data provider Blockchain.com.
