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

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. - 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 They physically changed your SIM? Damn! -
@cc_chapman@deray They changed the SIM that the telco tied to the account and number, not the sim card in the phone -
@danielnaruta@deray Ahhh.....thanks for sharing. I was curious.

You can add extra authentication code to a cellular account, but if they know your SSN they can override it.

@SwiftOnSecurity@deray AT&T doesn't have my SSN. You can pay a refundable deposit and not provide it.

@deray happened to me in February as well, for someone trying to hack into my Instagram account. -
@deray So they had part of your SSN, got the SIM reset, and further authentication was thru texts? How did they reset Twitter pass? -

@deray how the person know your social? Cuz with AT&T they ask for the last four numbers if your social before doing anything - View other replies
