I was hacked today: my Twitter account, two email addresses, & my phone. It was not due to passwords, they hacked my phone account itself.

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.
-
are you gonna take any action against your cell provider...that's a huge lapse in security

how did they access your accounts via phone account only? One factor passcode one SMS/ecc. How did they get both?

I’d think they would also have needed to obtain your password to Twitter, etc.
