Google’s G Suite Twitter Account was hacked to promote a Bitcoin (BTC) giveaway. The hacker found its way to the company’s official G Suite Twitter Account and posted the tweet above.
The account has more than 800,000 followers, and they were asked to participate in a fraudulent 10,000 BTC giveaway. Although the tweet was taken down by Google after 10 minutes, that didn’t stop the tweet from affecting the cryptomarket.
