    Mike Chapple, an information technology professor at the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business, said in an NPR piece, "The way that cryptocurrency works, once a transfer takes place, it is irreversible and virtually untraceable," Chapple said. "The real question here is how the attackers gained access to these prominent Twitter accounts in the first place."
