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. -
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. -
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.

social engineering hacking, it's some crazy stuff

Terrible experience, and a cautionary tale to high profile black political and culture professionals. You are targets.

I hate it when I'm right.

Heck, I just found out because a post on google said they found plans on your phone to disrupt both conventions. Hmmm?

How can they change your SIM? They dont do that unless you get to store and get a new one. They dont just change the SIM#.

Check your circle. That's really hard to do; much harder than hacking an email.
