I thought #Txitter getting users to pay for accounts would stop the bots but it hasn't and now that you can just buy your verification and get preferential display in feeds and comments, its made it pretty fun for scammers to get a hold of accounts

Regulatory bodies like #SEC, brands like #Coingecko and security firm #CertiK and even Politicians have seen their accounts hacked and used to either troll or worse shill crypto projects or phishing scams

Unfortunately, those who want to use these platforms and tend to trust and don't verify will get rekt.

I don't think the SEC hack counts in this analysis. Not enabling 2FA is criminal negligence. You could blame Twitter for not mandating it, but that seems unrelated to the issue of paid accounts and/or bot fighting.
