Oddbean new post about login | logout The SEC issued a statement providing an update on the unauthorized post that was published from their X account on Jan. 9 regarding the approval of several spot Bitcoin ETFs. In the statement, the SEC reports they were the victim of a SIM swap attack, which allowed an unauthorized party to gain access to their X account. https://www.sec.gov/secgov-x-account
I call, bullshit!
It is Bullshit. Elon tweeted that they didn't have 2FA enabled. They can't be a target of a sim swap if they didn't have 2FA in the first place.
This can't be true. They already admitted to not having 2FA enabled. The SEC openly lying. nostr:nevent1qqsr80z3l9cdlx2ek6wjnjaacp0zxzpeugmzun507t93479meu4444spp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyqhdhn4xjngkgc5c2jjjtq693ltdjed3v83ufz6h6whlqx2q2kyggqcyqqqqqqgl3cku3
I mean, it’s in the link - “While multi-factor authentication (MFA) had previously been enabled on the @SECGov X account, it was disabled by X Support, at the staff’s request, in July 2023 due to issues accessing the account. Once access was reestablished, MFA remained disabled until staff reenabled it after the account was compromised on January 9.”
Elon just went into God mode himself.
