The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has apprehended a suspect believed to be responsible for compromising the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Twitter account earlier this year. The breach resulted in a deceptive tweet proclaiming the approval of a Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF), causing market volatility and misleading investors. According to crypto news source X account db, the suspect used the compromised account to spread false information, exploiting the SEC's credibility and authority. The SEC promptly denounced the fraudulent tweet, emphasizing that it had not approved any Bitcoin spot ETFs. The agency also urged investors to exercise caution when encountering unverified information on social media.
