        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hackers appeared to rake in nearly $119,000 worth of bitcoin after they took over more than a dozen <strong>high-profile Twitter accounts</strong> Wednesday.</p><p>One digital wallet linked to the unprecedented attack received about 12.8 bitcoin — worth roughly $117,328 as of Thursday afternoon — after the hackers tweeted its ID number from accounts owned by Elon Musk, Kanye West, Bill Gates, Apple and others, <strong>according to data provider Blockchain.com</strong>.</p><p>Another roughly 0.17 bitcoin, or $1,625, went to a wallet mentioned in a since-deleted tweet from CashApp&#8217;s corporate Twitter account, the data show. The payment service is owned by Square, where Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey serves as CEO.</p><p>The owner of the latter account emptied it by sending all the cryptocurrency to other wallets, while the former was left with just about $119 in bitcoin after a flurry of transactions that continued into Thursday morning, records show.</p><p>The hackers&#8217; tweets promised that anyone who sent Bitcoin to the aforementioned wallets would get twice as much money back. Twitter called the incident a <strong>&#8220;coordinated social engineering attack&#8221;</strong> that targeted company employees with access to internal tools.</p>]]></content:encoded>
