The British Army says it is investigating how its Twitter and YouTube accounts were filled with posts about cryptocurrency and NFTs.

In 2020, Twitter accounts belonging to Musk, Bill Gates, Joe Biden, Kim Kardashian and other well-known figures were breached to promote an apparent bitcoin scam. A report by Atlas VPN found that more than $1.3 billion worth of crypto was stolen just in the first four months of 2022. The digital artist Beeple–whose record-breaking $69.3 million NFT helped kick off the craze last year–was the target of a Twitter hacking last month that led to his followers losing $438,000 worth of cryptocurrency and NFTs in a scam.

Mavs news: Mark Cuban savagely trolls angry Dallas mob on Twitter (ClutchPoints)

Mavs owner Mark Cuban has decided to like a myriad of slanderous tweets against him on the mean streets of Twitter.

To be fair, the Mavs did make a big move in free agency by signing in-demand big man JaVale McGee to a three-year deal worth $20 million. This, along with a few other developments that have not gone in their favor, has led to a lot of angry Mavs fans on social media. One of the biggest deals in the market involved Jalen Brunson, who decided to turn his back on the Mavs to sign with the New York Knicks on a massive new deal.

Twitter is testing out the new Bitmoji feature with an Add Bitmoji option to connect your Bitmoji account to your Twitter one.

This will also link your Twitter profile to your Snapchat account because as you can see Snapchat owns Bitmoji. In other words, this feature will provide users with a direct link between their twitter and snapchat profiles. But this should be kept in mind that twitter does not have any Bitmoji creation tools of its own so it just looks like Twitter asking for a leg up from Snapchat. This will enable people to use their digital avatar as a means of representation outside of Snapchat.

Both accounts have since been restored, but who exactly was behind the hacks hasn't been confirmed.

An army spokesperson told the BBC: “Whilst we have now resolved the issue an investigation is ongoing and it would be inappropriate to comment further.” The livestream videos were modified with overlays promoting several Bitcoin and Ether cryptocurrency scams, which clearly answers the question about why both of these social media accounts had been hijacked. Over the weekend, while many in the United States were pre-gaming today’s Fourth of July holiday celebrations, in the UK, the British Army was scrambling to regain control its Twitter and YouTube accounts that had both been hacked to promote NFTs and other crypto investment scans.
