The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) did not employ basic security measures on its X (formerly Twitter) account when it was "compromised" to spread false bitcoin ETF news, according to the social media company.
Late Tuesday, X's Safety team said it had completed its "preliminary investigation" into the SEC's market-moving, false post on approval of bitcoin ETF applications, which the regulator blamed on its "compromised" account.
The compromise was not due to any breach of X’s systems, but rather due to an unidentified individual obtaining control over a phone number associated with the @SECGov account through a third party," X's Safety account posted
We can also confirm that the account did not have two-factor authentication enabled at the time the account was compromised. We encourage all users to enable this extra layer of security," X posted.
