SEC's X account hacked — a fake spot-Bitcoin-ETF approval posted
The SEC's official X account was hijacked (a SIM-swap, no 2FA) to post a fake Bitcoin-ETF approval, briefly moving markets before deletion. In the CAW community the episode circulated as an argument for a blockchain-based social layer — a reading we cannot tie to any identified post, so it is recorded here as a general reaction rather than a quotation. The breach itself is documented in major media.
