Maybe @SECGov wasn't compromised, but instead @GaryGensler was?


The sec.gov site has no press release about the approval.


I was thinking the same, but the @SECGov Tweet has now disappeared. What a hack if it's true!


What's interesting is... what did it achieve? A temporary 2% swing in BTCUSD price at best?


With leveraged trading you can make some decent gains if you know for certain something will jump a few %.


Not probable considering the tweets the hacker liked immediately after posting


Amazing.


womp womp. floor falling out. fraud means more delays probably


Lmao, can admins update the title to reflect this or remove the listing altogether?

SEC twitter getting hacked is the last of scenarios I'd expect


Yes, if you email them using the footer Contact link.


It's flagged so I think it's fine now
