The centralized social media stove is hot ain’t it 🔥
#nostr fixes this
glad you made the move to NOSTR.
I am so sorry this has happened. We got to get more goldbugs on Nostr. I left twitter more than 2 years ago. And I haven’t looked backed.
Zaps are the future. At least that’s what the kids say.
“Twitter is fiat.” #yestr
Based. 🫡
NOSTR ONLY! 🤙
Yep
You always have a home on Nostr
Terrible! Do you know how they are able to get past 2fa, thats surprising?
Browser session / cookies
Selfishly, I look forward to hearing you more here on Nostr.
They cloned your browser sessions and cookies. So they have a cloned access to your email, x etc.. whatever you’re logon to
YOU CANT ZAP GOLD
This sucks, I feel for ya brother.
how 🤔
A hacker can take a browser snapshot or clone a user's browser profile with a script
Terrible timing, so sorry man.
The book is good though! About halfway through and thinking of who to give the 5 copies I bought to.
Thank you
It's a shame that just when you had started following me 😅 it's better here
Well Nostr is to Twitter what bitcoin is to fiat. Except that it uses a lot less energy
Here you will be better. More freedom
porn is fiat. twitter is fine.
porn is what burns. boomer would have the same problem here if his nsec got compromised.
you are a moron. muted.
how did the hacker get there?
oh
boomer jackin off at the keyboard
When you say “the N word”, do you mean nigga?
That must be so frustrating when you’re trying to launch a book!
Click click.. 💥
I know that’s right.
That really blows.
Indeed, but honestly I am chill. Don’t miss Twitter much.
Don’t fret Larry, the cyber hornets work harder than X and the book will last forever!
Thank you very kind. Fuck Twitter

You are among true plebs where you belong now. No need to go back.
Agree
That sucks!
This is definetely not a Jack situation and you don’t have to go back 😂 I hope
seems like a gift from the universe
Unfortunately 2FA with phone or email is pretty awful security, as sim swaps are pretty rampant. You CAN lock your sim with a pin, and it is a good idea to in general, but usually, app based solutions are a step up, or I do see that Twitter offers hardware security keys as an option, which is even better). Glad it wasn't something higher sensitivity, but I know that Twitter's still pretty imperative on the tradfi side of things, so sorry to hear about your situation. Very telling what sort of outfit they're running that even a verified profile is being given this sort of treatment, not that its news to anyone here.
They go through the 2FA scam in this vid. Interesting, and scary.
#NostrOnly is the way forward. Keep your private key safe and this will never happen here. I look forward to seeing you more around these decentralized parts, sir. 🫂🤙🏻💜

I was hacked even though I had 2fa and control of my phone and email. When the hacker was counter attacked by my followers they posted the N word repeatedly which caused Twitter to automatically shut down the account. I have files support tickets. Crickets. Twitter is fiat.

Twitter is shit anyway good riddance
Glad you're here now.
Twitter sucks, glad you're here 🫂 💜
Sorry this happened Larry!
Glad to have you over here on Nostr more now though.
@npub1d3f4...r4xv why not use something like yubikey
Totally sucks Larry but every setback like this pushes us all more to Nostr. See you next week!
X is doing everything in his power to kick the good people out of the platform.
Sorry to hear about this Lawrence.
Your new book and your takes may be making more noise than you think! 👍
I just got suspended for posting that I hope certain politicians get tried and executed for treason soon. X is bs. I just wish it had legitimate competitors.
Sounds like the perfect use case for VMs.
That is next!
Thanks Chris
Thank you
Look into Kasm it’s pretty cool
does voiceverify fix this?
Use Efani - a service that protects well against SIM swaps. They carry their own insurance as well in case of a breach.
I pondered on yubikeys for quite a long time. I bit the bullet a couple of months ago after my mother in law was hacked. It was easier than I thought to set up. Hope you get sorted.
Already a user.
Everyone who reads this needs to figure out that you cannot have any phone number associated with online accounts(so long as they allow this which most do, even google account you don't need or want to have any phone number whatsoever). Like nowhere in the whole profile or account. Need to use authenticator apps for 2FA and have absolutely no way of recovering/accessing the accounts through a phone number. This is only real way to protect from sim swaps. I'm not even sure that sim swap is what happened to him, but regardless if you aren't protected from sim swap then you aren't protected period.
It wasn’t a SIM swap. I have EFANI. I think they got access via a ZOOM call and screen sharing and they inserted malware or cloned my cookies. These guys are getting better and better. Moral: never do a ZOOM call with an unknown party. In this case I checked and the emails and names were legit Bloomberg interviewers. But of course fake.
Btw Larry, even with EFANI I would still recommend having no phone number anywhere in online accounts(unless literally can't use the app without, which is rare). Most have a private key sort of setup can use for backup + authenticator app for 2FA. Just my opinion. No phone number makes sim swap actually impossible.
Yes I follow that, except in Twitter and I think I had email as the 2Fa
I was wondering what happened to you over on twit. There one day and a ghost the next. Someone trying to mess with your book promotion maybe?
Email is not bad, but only if the corresponding google account(or whatever the email account is) is itself totally locked down and secure with no openings. Which can be pretty tricky, but doable. There is a lot to completely securing online accounts on the whole. If one lil thing is missed, it can be all for nothing basically. Can be overwhelming, but just trying to provide some helpful info wherever I can.
Thank you!
Nah, shit coiners trying to access my 200k followers.
Hasseb is a terrific guy!
Indeed helped me out today!
I was hounded from the Ledger leak, and I’d had a near miss SIM swap.
He helped me on a Saturday morning with his young son sleeping on him.
I cannot say enough good things about him and Efani, so glad you are in good hands!
Same!
How is this possible?
Just a few days before that, you followed my Twitter-Account. This was huge for me, because your account there was by far the one with the most followers.
I just recognized your account was gone, after I had a look at my "followers" 😂 .
My first thought was, "Oh, man! What did I post that he unfollowed me?" I'm so glad I didn't.
P.S. Or did I... and you deleted your Twitter account because of that...
