Yeah this is nuts. Clearly something on the backend is broken, Obama just tweeted it out too.

Wouldn't they just change the address, it ain't like creating an address has a cost

npm i bitcoin-regex

Temporarily block anything that matches the format of a bitcoin address?

Then they'll just start obscuring addresses by interspersing them with spaces or posting links to third-party sites containing the address.

It's an unending game of cat and mouse. IMO Twitter's efforts at this point are much better spent on finding out how the hack occurred and cutting it off at the source.

Seems like a "red alert" mode would be most useful to leave twitter as read only

Ban from where? Twitter you mean? I guess they could write something to block Bitcoin addresses that are scams from the body of the tweets.

I'm really shocked that attacker of so much sophisticated attack, haven't generate unique bitcoin address per tweet.

Or maybe everyone at home?
