hi yall - this is Liam, for real. just regained access to my account. storytime below…
my account was hacked after a friend DM’d me the attached message. the hacker immediately logged in, changed my account email, and added their own 2FA. was stuck in a catch-22 (in order to change my password, I needed to enter the 2FA, which I did not have access to).
I submitted a ticket to “twitter support” via a backup account at noonET on 5/10. they sent me an ai. I asked for a human being. they said subscribe to premium for a human agent. I gave this island dweller my $8. they send me GROK.
eventually there’s a update to my ticket. says my ticket was submitted via an email not associated with my account. yes, because the hacker REMOVED IT.
so I went to twitter’s nyc office yesterday. in person. yknow, like we used to do things? asked to simply be given an email address of a human being that can at the very least just delete my account entirely. “we don’t do that here.” you can’t make this up.
anyways, I woke up this morning and was able to log back in. I changed my password and added a 2FA. I have access on my end, but I can’t verify that whoever hacked isn’t still in the account. if you received the below DM from this account, do NOT click the link. I would never unironically use a 100 emoji.
anyways, regardless of regained access, this is my last tweet. what once was a prosperous place that helped my career blossom has turned into a fascist hellscape that I no longer feel safe using.
you can find me most active on insta, also @liamtcrowley. same handle for tok, letterboxd, etc.
✌🏻
