🕵️♂️Hackers used loopholes to hack into the SEC's X account, and the 25-year-old suspect pleaded guilty and faces a heavy sentence!
Recently, 25-year-old hacker Eric Council pleaded guilty to the U.S. federal court, admitting that he participated in the hacking of the SEC's official X account @SECgov in January last year. This incident not only shocked the cybersecurity community, but also caused the cryptocurrency market to experience a roller coaster-like sharp end.
The thing is that in January last year, Council and his accomplices quietly hacked into the SEC's official X account through a complex SIM card swapping technology. Then, they spread a false tweet through this social media channel, claiming that the SEC had approved the Bitcoin ETF. As soon as this news came out, it quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the market, causing the price of Bitcoin to rise sharply in a short period of time, and the increase once exceeded $1,000.
But the good times did not last long. The SEC quickly regained control of the account and clarified that the news was false. As a result, the price of Bitcoin fell like a slide again, with a drop of more than $2,000. At that time, the approval of Bitcoin ETF was the focus of investors' attention, and the relevant content released by the SEC's X account could cause a huge reaction in the market.
At present, Council confessed to his actions and revealed that he made about $50,000 from it. But the consequences are also serious. He faces up to 5 years in prison and a fine of $250,000. The verdict will be announced on May 16, which is undoubtedly a wake-up call for all potential hackers.
This incident also reminds us again that cybersecurity and the vulnerability of the cryptocurrency market are closely related. Even a simple social media account leak can cause huge market fluctuations.
In summary, in the digital age, a security vulnerability of a social media account is enough to shake the confidence of the entire market and trigger a chain reaction. Therefore, strengthening network protection measures and improving the public's ability to identify the authenticity of information are crucial to maintaining a healthy cryptocurrency ecosystem.
