Robinhood CEO Discloses Attacker Compromised His X Account by Social Engineering X Customer Support to Bypass 2FA

TechFlow reports, on July 29, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated that his X account was compromised last week. Attackers deceived X customer support through social engineering tactics, bypassing security measures such as two-factor authentication and login alerts, and posted false content related to meme coins. Subsequently, the X security team assisted in promptly deleting the relevant posts and restored account access on the same day. Currently, the platform has added extra security protection measures for this account to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
