Social Media and SIM Skimming 

Earlier this year, and X/Twitter account was hacked, allowing misinformation to be posted from this trusted account. Unfortunately, this is not an unfamiliar story, social media accounts have been hacked before as anyone who has received an off message form a friend knows by now. So why was this instance newsworthy? The hacked account belonged to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, if a trusted entity such as this can be hacked and misinformation spread, it brings into question the security of social media accounts belonging to businesses or government entities.
