Get'em Marc!
He WAS hacked. He started another account until he can restore this one: @RealMarcCohodes. He had 2FA on, but someone at Twitter told him to remove it. Not sure the full circumstances. Most likely someone linked to @DavidSacks who went and likely paid off someone on the inside of Twitter.
I was using 2fa and got an dm from twitter to turn it off where they gave me the steps... This was an inside job
Marc’s account was hacked earlier today. Until he regains access, he’s over at @RealMarcCohodes. This is also an important opportunity for a PSA (public service announcement) to remind folks that if they’re not using 2FA, they should. The BEST method for 2FA is a hardware key, like a yubikey, but that is complex and requires a specific key (nfc capable) and to have that key around/plugged in to something that can power it. For most cases of non-financial applications/sites, the Google Authenticator (or if you don’t trust Google, use Authy…the open source version) is easy to set up and use. It’s a good middle ground and infinitely more secure than 2FA via text message or email.
