TechFlow reports that X platform's Safety team has confirmed the official account of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (@SECGov) was hacked. Preliminary investigations indicate this was not due to a vulnerability in X's system, but rather resulted from an unknown individual gaining control of the phone number associated with the account through third-party means. At the time of the breach, the account did not have two-factor authentication enabled. Users are urged to enable additional security measures.
