TWITTER HACK UPDATE

After a week of trying to address my Twitter hack, I just woke up to find it’s happening again. I’m locked out of my account, no access, scam tweets on my profile.

I have tried EVERYTHING to get my account back to normal:

- Yubikey

- Changing password 10 times

- Changing email on account

- Remove 3rd party apps

- Remove developer apps

NOTHING IS WORKING

I keep asking for help and getting nothing. I put a lot of time into my account. After 10 years of work in this industry Twitter is what allowed me to be recognized.

It’s the only reason people care about my work and now it’s being stolen and it’s honestly so fucking embarrassing and painful.

I know many people will laugh. They feel like I deserve it for running an engagement account.

Anyway, I am asking for help. I honestly have no idea what to do

You have to deactivate your account if you regain access for a few days and nuke everything associated with it.

Update with new contact details and possibly a new phone number you have stored away for online accounts that require it (No SMS 2FA obviously if it can be avoided)

Haven’t heard of a yubikey being compromised. That’s the last thing I would swap out if the above steps won’t work.

I see a lot of people pointing to malware/key logger etc. maybe. My guess is that it’s an internal Twitter issue and why I’m suggesting to deactivate the account for a few days to see what happens.

If they can reactivate with all new account details it’s the post #[3]​ Twitter you guys love so much.
