Trezor's Twitter (X) Account Hacked

The person who was in charge of PR should think about changing jobs.

99% of PR/HR people are totally incompetent.

Most of them are cute millennial/GenZ chicks, so don't expect them to lose their job... they know how to "keep" it, especially with DEI these days.

I've never had an account of mine "hacked" (false term, social engineering is far more accurate) and TBH, I don't even understand why is SIM/SMS relevant with 2FA apps such as Google Authenticator. No excuses for buttfuckery. It's 100% incompetence.

Yes, it's not a real hack in the traditional sense of the world. The PR representative was tricked into clicking on a link that looked like some kind of calendar entry meant to schedule an interview between the impersonator and Trezor's CEO. Whoever it was, they gave the trickster account access on a platter. Trezor has also stated that they didn't use SMS for 2FA, but a more secure method (not that it helped in this scenario).
