Threat Score
The SEC's X (Twitter) account was hijacked via control of a phone number (likely a SIM-swap) and used to post a fake approval announcement for spot Bitcoin ETFs, briefly spiking Bitcoin's price; the tweet was deleted, two-factor authentication was not enabled on the account, the FBI is investigating, and the SEC later approved the ETFs.
