If you ask me, Twitter should be held accountable for this. I mean if it's really that easy to manipulate a blue-ticked account than its about time they think about their security. Once I saw a similar thing happening on Facebook, I reported that account and I haven't seen something like this again on facebook at least. I believe Facebook manually reviews a name change request of the account and you have to re-verify your Identity afterwards. It's about time these platforms should be held accountable too. They get away too often if you ask me. Yeah you can argue people are dumb, greedy whatever. But if you tell me that I can change a blue-tick account to impersonate a celebrity and get away with it than I think people should really think about what kind of pathetic platform they are on.
Twitter do really have also the mistake when it comes to security and they should really make such changes to prevent further similar situations but
eventually people's lack of common sense is the main issue why they do let themselves blinded on one's popularity to follow up on the things that had been instructed to
the public. Even reading it up, having a basic knowledge with scams will really give you or picture out that this one is a classic scam but people
do let their stupidity and greed control them.
