Finally got back my T-mobile account (yes, it was a sim swap, meaning that someone socially-engineered T-mobile itself to take over my phone number).

Main learning re twitter was: > A phone number is sufficient to password reset a Twitter account even if not used as 2FA. Can completely remove phone from Twitter. I had seen the "phone numbers are insecure, don't authenticate with them" advice before, but did not realize this

I don't remember when I *added* the number; my guess is that it was required to sign up for twitter blue.

Anyway, glad to be on farcaster, where my account recovery can be controlled by a good wholesome ethereum address :)

Glad you’re back. Sorry you got sim swapped :-( Are T-Mobile going to add some extra protection to your mobile to prevent this going forward? I am anxious that mobile companies are woefully unprepared to curtail social engineering…especially if AI can simulate a speaker since many telecoms use voice for auth

X sucks. Long live farcaster. Also for web2 stuff in the interim, reminder for everyone else here to get some hardware security keys (Yubico). Phone 2FA is clearly too vulnerable.
