As someone who used to have a zero day to access every Twitter acc, there are many red flags here
- the manner of the tweet w/ graphic
- apparently no 2FA on the SEC acc
- speed of acc recovery
- rhetoric of their response
- twitter confirming it was “phone compromised through 3rd party” essentially saying simswap
Imo if your security is so lax that you don’t even have 2FA(should have yubikey) enabled, it’s not a very active account the chances of catching the intrusion and responding that fast are slim to none.
So either it was probably “an accident” by posting instead of saving to drafts or purposeful market manipulation. I don’t buy the official narrative. Hence why im chillen in spot until this BS is over and wouldn’t suggest anyone doing so.
The
@SECGov X account was compromised, and an unauthorized post was posted. The SEC has not approved the listing and trading of spot bitcoin exchange-traded products.
