HACK FALLOUT

With Twitter still reeling from last week’s hack that took over several celebrities’ accounts and scammed people into sending them bitcoin, CEO Jack Dorsey apologized and said he felt “terrible” about the incident on the social media giant’s earnings call. The hackers stole a little over $100,000, but it could have been a lot more—Coinbase says it blocked 1,100 customers from sending almost $280,000 worth of bitcoin to the addresses in question.
