X Account Hack News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a Wall Street regulator, revealed that its social media account on the platform X was hacked using the SIM swapping technique. The SEC had removed multi-factor authentication (MFA) six months prior to the attack and reinstated it only after the incident.

A now-deleted post was published from the account stating that the regulator had approved a new investment product tracking the price of Bitcoin, or Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (ETF).
