Do you know how that happened?
Another major Bitcoin name twitter compromised. I wonder if this is a deliberate targeted attack.
did you have 2FA enabled?
This is getting far to much now.. it’s on the inside..
X is gonna be non existent very very soon and NOSTR is gonna be where it is.. thanks for your incredible education and support for this community- 🫡
Does anyone see a pattern?

When you recovered
Just put a npub there and never look back
I see a trend
Hope withdrawal isn't too tough!
Oef! RIP to the Xitter account!
Sheesh. Happening too often.
Anyone have any details on what’s going on? I’ve heard Calendly links and Zoom links might be the cause?
@npub1d3f4...r4xv
Good riddance.
Nostr only @Lyn Alden 💜
What’s Twitter? I’ve been out of the game for so long I forgot.
That’s awful :(
Slid in some Nostr propaganda https://fxtwitter.com/callebtc/status/1894828285978370467
You didn't link to the message. You posted a screenshot, which can be faked 🤣
You mean X. The bird died a long time ago.
Gold for sell i need serious buyers thanks contact on watsapp +256 765 785 063 for more info
#Nostr fixes this.
Maybe a push to detach? Tbh, I’m not ready for cutting the cord yet, but as more people like you go nostr only, it paves the way for small influencers like us.
I had 10 fake Lyn Alden’s following me before I deleted my twitter account. Sounds like it’s getting worse. Glad I went all-in on NOSTR
Accounts hacked or suppressed or something?
Thank you.
Everyone can find it and verify but ok I'll post the event hash xD
Damn! I loaded up on those Alden Dollars! Don't tell me they are not actually endorsed by you!
First @npub1d3f4...r4xv and now you! Someone is after bitcoin authors
I’m there, haven’t seen anything from your account.
It will always be Twitter. X is a figment of your imagination.
This so wild 🤔
Wow, Twitter has been getting roasted lately.
Sounds like a known insider backdoor to me.
Can't help you there
Good. I’ve taken action to prevent it from being used by the hacker which seems to be working. But I don’t currently have access either. My first priority is making sure it causes no harm to anyone with scams.
😱😱😱🫡
This is one of many problems with KYC-focused platfoems. They want to collect valuable information to send you to the Gulag, but do little to nothing to protect the integrity of your account.
Twitter has been a honeypot for scammers for a long time.

It’s a reasonable thought. I verified to some people on other channels that it happened. Including Jeff Booth.
How did this happen? User error?
Just stay here on Nostr Lyn. ❤️
😱
Oh ffs I’m sorry Lyn… GOD DAMN THESE SCAMMING SCAMMERS WHY CANT THEY JUST GO GET A FUCKING JOB?!
:/ good luck 🤞 Lyn
I know, right?
Don’t trust, verify.
Do you have any bitcoin for sale? 😁
Scamming is a job!
Bummer, Lyn.
Sorry to hear it.
Unfortunately you find them here in nostr as well. Not so long ago a fake walker started following me, this week fake hodlonaut.
Ah that sucks
This really sucks! Do you know get what happened? Rob figured out that Scott & Larry were socially engineered
X (formerly Twitter)
Rob Warren (@robertwarren) on X
Had insomnia and figured out how Scott and Larry got socially engineered. The whole thing is more evil than I thought it was.
If you have 45 minut...
😟Time to Nostr only.
The world would be a boring place without scammers. Do you really want to live in a world without 2FA?
Lyn did you have a YubiKey or such configured on your X account security?
On the one hand...sorry! Glad I know your npub!
OTOH... you've been hacked so you've achieved hack-worthy-celebrity status 😉
Deets for harm reduction?
Was your password weak?
Would a YubiKey have helped?
I posted a message on Twitter say ont your account has been hacked 4 hours ago
Gold on head.
Sorry to hear that. Don't forget to check you phone and e-mail accounts.
2FA, as implemented today, is a massive joke. See the recent Bybit hack. You never know what you're signing.
Bitcoin hwws like Trezor and Coldcard are shining exceptions.
Because of the Taxes 🫣
We need a "2FA everything" cap
Guess she didn't know that.
Maybe she wants to use her Twitter Account and it's not working on X anymore 🤔
👍
Someone mentioned 2FA but well, I don't give my phone number to a platform that's not worth it.
Not the compromised case, but I've read that fiatjaf has been through recently.
Now the Xitter platform is an irreparable well filled with toxic substances from abandoned bodies. I tried my best not to give up on the platform to the end, but surrendered. Booked as the next Myspace.
fiatjaf
I
Nostr full time ?
That sucks..
Thank God for Nostr
Sorry to hear
Oof that really sucks. Hope you get it back up and running soon
How can I help? I’m on Twitter.

Seen this to much lately!
One could think it is on purpose.
Did you use 2FA?
Need 2fa with Authenticator app
Compliance Is Defiance®
do you want it
Email compromised possibly? Sorry to hear :( Good news is I ordered your book Broken Money. Gonna give it a read soon. You always had good analysis and insight in the markets when I seen you on Bloomberg and other interviews throughout the years. 🔥💯
I'm not seeing a picture.
