ICYMI on Twitter: SEC account got hacked and tweeted a fake #Bitcoin ETF approval announcement.
That’s right, the agency that’s supposed to protect investors can’t even protect their own Twitter account.

@Fiat Shenanigans 🤡🌎 maybe this cause that awfull candle?
It's funny, but if anyone really believes that "protecting investors" is anything like "protecting a twitter account" or that one is easier or harder than the other, like if they believe that in order to be competent at one they should be competent at the other...
🤦🏻
It was approved but we're waiting 6 confirmations
no way that was a hack
Technological challenges, IMO

Feel like someone profited off this hack.
They ‘said’ it was a hack.
I call bullshit.
Idk if they have this level of trickery in them View quoted note →
The government would never lie.
LOL love it
Not a chance. Seems like someone screwed up a scheduled tweet…
This seems the most likely
If the ETF's get delayed because of this then it was no "accident" imo. If they are approved tomorrow as expected then maybe I could by a staffer error. I agree it wasn't a hack. To me it is an accident vs an inside job.
💯🎯🙌
Not even a question

No way jośe
Compromised not hacked. Words matter.
no way that was a compromised
Elon did it! 🤣
It’s just all show and entertainment in this Clown world 🤡😄 
That’s what I’ve been saying.
I thought it was a fat finger too, till I saw this 😂
Yeah maybe it was a hack 
inside job 4 sure
True 🤔
#nostr fixes this. CNBC is now saying it was a twitter hack at twitter. Not an SEC hack or account breach.
SEC forgot to update their scheduled posts
Seems very very unlikely…
SEC is gonna make BTC safe for retail!
😆
🤡🌏
Seems to me like it was a mis scheduled post or something internal
they be like… 
maybe the goal of this “hack” was to try to drive down the price, keep prices low(er), and avoid a fomo pump when the “real” announcement is made now that new money will second guess any future announcements…
or they’re just incompetent…
scratch that…this is the SEC and Gary we’re talking about…they’re definitely just that incompetent.
fat fingers or psyop?
Why?
I read the password was, ahem..
"IHATEELON"
all caps
Maybe a joke may be not ha
@jack how long would the account recovery normally take?
Suss af the post was left up for 20 mins. They regained account control in 20 mins? BS
No way this kind of tweet is scheduled.
If it was this means the ETFs were approved.
they should have to cancel the etf now because of the tweet. Cathi will withdraw her application and refile, approval on 4/20/2024
Why do you think that?
acceleration of clown world theory
lulz
Is it now, Jack?
So let’s talk about federal governments social media handlers who conduct all sorts of douchery.
Soaped and yet acting the man?
Fucking embarrassing, mate.
Buy #bitcoin you scamming idiots.
What’s the matter? Knows yet acts the cunt? 
But let’s discuss that board and chairman according to the laws expectations and then understand knows is McCain in the long line of need for chemo, just like Austin.
Any plausible outs there Jackie boy?
Kinda end of the story, boy.
Nothing to follow or any legacy to live on neither.
🫶🏻 
You was right again 💪🏽
@Edward Snowden 😂🫂💜
Agree
Apparently it was:
"We can confirm that the account @SECGov was compromised and we have completed a preliminary investigation. Based on our investigation, 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," said X Safety.
"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. More information and tips on how to keep your account secure can be found in our Help Center."
