NEW DETAILS EMERGE ABOUT SEC’S X ACCOUNT HACK, INCLUDING SIM SWAP

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

The SEC experienced a breach on its X account due to a SIM swap attack where an unauthorized party gained access to the account and published a false post about bitcoin ETFs. The SEC, which had disabled two-factor authentication, regained control of the account and has since re-enabled the security measure. The breach did not impact the SEC's systems or data, but it did cause hundreds of millions of dollars of liquidations across the crypto markets.
