Twitter accounts of big names like Biden, Obama and Buffet hacked in Bitcoin scheme
Prominent Twitter accounts including those of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Bill Gates and Elon Musk were hacked Wednesday in an apparent cryptocurrency scam. The accounts of Kanye West, Warren Buffet, Mike Bloomberg and Amazon's Jeff Bezos had similar tweets asking for donations via Bitcoin. This could be Twitter's biggest hack because of the big names associated with the compromised accounts. Within minutes of the tweets being posted, a bitcoin account that appeared in some of the accounts showed more than 300 transactions for a total balance of more than $57,000, according to CNN Business.
Naval Ship explodes, 21 people injured, vessel continues burning
SAN DIEGO, Calif. Twenty-one people suffered minor injuries in an explosion and fire Sunday on board a ship at Naval Base San Diego, military officials said. Seventeen sailors and four civilians were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries, Raney said in a brief statement. The flames sent up a huge plume of dark smoke visible around San Diego. San Diego is the Bonhomme Richard's home port and it was undergoing routine maintenance at the time of the fire. Two other docked ships, USS Fitzgerald and USS Russell, were moved to berths away from the fire, Raney said.
