On July 15th, 2020, the internet broke for a moment. Verified Twitter accounts from Elon Musk, Barack Obama, Apple, Kanye West, and more all posted the same message: “Send me Bitcoin, and I’ll double it.”
It wasn’t a joke. It wasn’t a promo. It was a hack.
In this episode of Cypher Tech Hacks, Alex Cipher takes you inside the wild story of how a crew of teenage hackers gained access to Twitter’s internal admin tools, hijacked high-profile accounts, and pulled off one of the most public crypto scams ever — all while flexing in underground forums and bragging to journalists.
We’ll break down:
- How they social engineered Twitter employees
- What the “God Mode” admin panel looks like
- Why internal tools are your riskiest assets
- And how $118,000 in Bitcoin was just the beginning
This is the blueprint for every insider threat nightmare — and the reason no platform, no matter how big, is untouchable.
