I was hacked today: my Twitter account, two email addresses, & my phone. It was not due to passwords, they hacked my phone account itself.
At 10:31 am, someone called @verizon impersonating me and successfully changed my SIM & unsuccessfully attempted to change my phone number.

By calling
@verizon and successfully changing my phone's SIM, the hacker bypassed two-factor verification which I have on all accounts. - View other replies

Today I learned that it is rather easy for someone to call the provider & change your SIM. The hacker got the account verification texts.

I'd realized that my phone had been hacked & separated from the actual phone number when the web only routed here:pic.twitter.com/zwYygVfbYy

The staff from
@twitter were incredibly helpful once alerted and helped to both delete some of the hacked tweets and give me back access. - View other replies

Verizon recorded the call made this morning by the imposter and we are working with lawyers to get the recording. It's been a long day.

No, I do not endorse Trump as the next President. He cannot be the President of the United States. He is racist & a bigot, unfit to lead.

The hacker got access by changing my SIM which redirected texts, then resetting my passwords to trigger two-factor authentication. Intense.

@deray Terrible experience, and a cautionary tale to high profile black political and culture professionals. You are targets. - View other replies

@deray Stop screwing around with protecting your communications security, the opposition is playing for keeps. You can't la-dee-da anymore. -
@deray In the 50's and 60's they were crude, brutal and definitely not subtle. Now it's culture jamming and social engineering, against you.

@deray That's the same thing that happened to Lorrie Cranor (@lorrietweet), FTC's Chief Technologist. It's a serious problem. -
