Farcaster fam, I have finally regained access to my X account. It has been a harrowing few days (imagine waking up ~7am on a Sunday morning to see your X account is gone). There are 2 people that likely helped move things along - an engineer at X (former GSoC student - I was once a program admin+mentor too for many years at MySQL and MariaDB), and a public policy person. They helped get those tickets moving. I revoked access to all apps - this believe app thing - happened while I was asleep. And there shouldn't be anything weird about the Twitter for iPhone access (one is via 5G, the other is via home WiFi. Believe stands out like a sore thumb there. How did this likely happen? You can ask for 2FA reset - https://help.x.com/en/forms/account-access/regain-access/2fa-problem And as long as you know an email address AND/OR a phone number - you can also get a password reset. If this information is public (e.g. in WHOIS records), you're hosed! Hacker did not use Grok. Looks like it was just to launch coin

Is believe app Chrome on Windows? We can also see the password was reset shortly before this. Sadly there are no logs about that. I revoked all app permissions, obviously Believe since I've never used it - but I have also got out of Kaito - it is just not worth it. In the process I also removed: Superx dot so, daos dot fun, cookie dao, ggcapital, yoyo dot meme, tribe dot run, senpi dot ai, vector wallet, and lmao dot fun. Basically all my connected apps probably just did not need to exist any longer.
