My Twitter account has been hacked. @LawrenceLepard on Twitter is not me. I have no idea how this happened. No information given. 2Fa on. They disabled 2fa, changed email, changed password. Another reason to ditch Twitter and go NOSTR! Second time, I mean WTF. DM security experts who can help with recovery. Ty.

I am mostly a lurker on both X and here (don't care about follower count), but I am finding that it won't be long before I never go back to see what's happening on the ad riddled and scammy X. BTW . . . great new book!

Thank you

Better hide the nsec in a more secure place than your social security number!

can you elaborate?

The nsec is your Nostr private key and cannot be replaced. Meaning once someone gets access to it, you're cooked.

So offline pw manager ok for this?

Yes

Good to see you here Mr Lepard. Have been enjoying your book and your recent appearances on numerous podcasts. Hope you spend more time here. All the best with sorting out X.

Ty

I thought you were hacked

Happy to have you here, Larry

just #nostr

Sounds like an inside job

Inside Job reference!?

You only get one chance with nostr

this is why we nostr

Not your keys, not your notes

ELONTECH SUKKZ

YET EVERYONE WANTS TO JUST GIVE IT ALL TO HIM….

Argh sorry to hear! Hope you get it back soon, esp with your book just out!

As usual L

Any help needed, you’ve got a plethora of peeps ready to lend a hand

Did you get a dog or not, thinking not?

No that was fake

You want one?

you had Google 2fa set on cloud sync didn't you?

Probably not very good technically so not sure.

You need to have the green cloud in the picture to be Grey with a Line going thru it - means it's turned off and only on your phone

so, it's not sync with Google cloud

Don’t use google auth. Use yubikey auth or Authy.

That’s horrible. I’m sorry to hear that. It’s great to have you here on Nostr, Lawrence 🫂.

Get used to this more and more

I used to think that but then I changed my name to Lawrence Lepard and everything was wavy.

Hopefully your nsec storage is more secure than your passwords...

Saw a new dog ? Is it reslly yours or it was the impostor posting pictures?

Imposter

There are still a couple of obvious impersonators accounts on X fyi

I didn’t think it was you but then he dropped a f-bomb and I wasn’t sure. Kidding. Sorry brother.

Thankfully, most of your followers should be sharp enough to catch on.

NOSTR only

Yikes. 😬

Thanks for writing your book! The Big Print: What Happened To America And How Sound Money Will Fix It

I like the solutions ideas!

Thank you

It’s a sign. Time to ditch the dead bird.

Agree

Need an all clear signal from you here.

They still have control

Sim card swapped?

No have EFANI and control phone and email. Had 2fa on. Have no clue how they did this.

I was sim swapped. It was a T-Mobile employee. My phone still worked but some accounts I had were compromised. It was weird.

I'd assume it's an inside job. From within X. Someone was social engineered, had their laptop stolen or something where they had access to the database of X.

Anyway.

I'm reminded of this:

Mat 7:15-19 KJV ¶Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17. Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

So regardless whether it is real Larry or Fake Larry it (The Words) is bad fruit then it's no good and should be disregarded.

E.G. How do we know it is real or not?

X is no good anyway.

I will pray that you get back on course with minimal damage.

Your X profile is saying you got your account back? Is this true?

NO NOT TRUE. Deception

Love u Larry!

Ty

Sorry that happened. I’d say shut it down, but since I will only ever see your notes on nostr and never in X, that’s easy for me to say. Might be fun though to find out how many will come here if they know it’s the only place to find you.

I may just do it. Twitter sucks.

And it's so beautiful here

Oh man, again?

Fuck Twitter.

It happened to me two years ago, after I opened a doctored message. I contacted the Twitter assistance. I had to answer some verification questions. Once I regained access I opted for a 2FA based on Yubikeys.

Yubikey is next

https://foundation.xyz/ could be an option as well.

wen memecoin

😂

Use a security key

I thought this was your second go round with account hijacking on Xitter.

The larger, the more influential the account, the larger the target becomes for public diminishment or reputation smearing.

Sorry this is happening to you Larry.

Brutal sorry man!

This is a sign to go Nostr only my friend. It will keep happening...do you really want the hassle.

Sorry to hear this Larry! How annoying and kind of scary as well

How the hell did they manage to do it?!

STAY HUMBLE AND STACK ZAPS ON NOSTR LARRY!

Potential cause: many people sync their 2FA to the cloud. On Android this is even the default 😖, not sure about iOS. As a result, your cloud account becomes the weakest link and a hacker only needs access to that in order to gain access to all your accounts, including 2FA.

An alternative is X staff messing around. Their security and customer support staff have been slashed in the name of "efficiency"

Best long term fix: ditch X, embrace nostro

Hope you can figure this out soon. It must feel horrible.

Nostr is the future 🫡

Sucks, let us know when you get it back

Sh*t. Horrible timing. It’s a tough call while we try to straddle both platforms while this one ramps up. I feel like I’m posting into the abyss here so far. But it’s where I’d prefer to be.
