    SEC says ‘X’ account compromised, tweet about Bitcoin ETF not accurate



    CNBC’s Kate Rooney joins ‘Closing Bell Overtime’ to talk the SEC’s X page being hacked and incorrectly mentioning a Bitcoin ETF approval.

    >>> WELCOME BACK TO OVERTIME. MORE BREAKING NEWS ON THE BITCOIN ETF STUFF. KATE ROONEY HAS THE DETAILS. >> A BIT OF A TWIST HERE. THE SEC NOW SAYING IT IS HAS BEEN COMPROMISED AND HAS NOT MADE A DECISION ON THE BITCOIN ETF.

    WE HAVE A STATEMENT FROM AN SEC SPOKESPERSON SAYING THAT THE TWITTER/APPLE X ACCOUNT HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. THE TWEET REGARDING BITCOIN ETF’S WAS NOT MADE BY THE SEC OR ITS STAFF. THEY ARE PUTTING OUT A SIMILAR STATEMENT THERE. BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE ACCOUNT

    HAS BEEN COMPROMISED AND HAS NOT YET MADE A DECISION ON BITCOIN ETF. PRICES HERE, AS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. BITCOIN AT LEAST FOR NOW STILL MOVING TO THE DOWNSIDE ON WHAT WAS POTENTIAL NEWS BUT A COMPROMISED ACCOUNT THERE, AND

    IT APPEARS THAT THEIR TWITTER ACCOUNT HAS BEEN HACKED. BACK OVER TO YOU GUYS. >> DEREK ANTLERS TWITTER ACCOUNT HAS NOT BEEN HACKED AS FAR AS WE KNOW. THE PART TO ME THAT IS WEIRDEST ABOUT THIS IS THAT WE ARE AT A

    TIME WHEN WE EXPECTED THE NEWS TO COME THROUGH THIS ACCOUNT. THEN WE ARE HEARING ABOUT THE HACK THROUGH THE SAME PLATFORM WHERE THEY APPARENTLY WERE HACKED. IS THERE ANY KIND OF A PRESS CONFERENCE OR STATEMENT OUTSIDE OF X THAT WE CAN EXPECT TO HEAR

    ON THIS? >> YES. I SHOULD CLARIFY THAT THE STATEMENT THAT WE GOT WAS FROM AN EMAIL TO SPOKESPERSON HERE. WE HAVE AN EMAILED STATEMENT FROM THE SEC CLARIFYING WHAT IS GOING ON ON TWITTER AND X. AGAIN, THIS ACCOUNT RE-TWEETING

    THAT IN PUTTING OUT A SIMILAR STATEMENT THAT THE ACCOUNT HAS BEEN HACKED. TAKING THINGS AWAY FROM TWITTER FOR A SECOND, WE DO HAVE AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM A VERIFIED SPOKES PERSON HERE OVER EMAIL THAT SAYS WE’VE NOT MADE A DECISION YET. >> OKAY.

    JUST GOING TO REITERATE ONE MORE TIME IT APPEARS THAT X HAS BEEN HACKED. THE SEC HAS NOT BEEN HACKED. WHICH IN AND OF ITSELF WOULD HAVE BEEN QUITE INTERESTING SINCE THEY ARE ALSO REGULATING ALL OF THESE CYBER SECURITY ISSUES AND HACKS FOR THE

    PRIVATE SECTOR AS WELL RIGHT NOW. BOTTOM LINE, THIS IS NOT TRUE. WE DON’T HAVE THIS FOCUS ON THE WEBSITE AS MUCH AS SOME OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA PROBLEMS. >> IT WAS AN AFTERNOON IN WHICH WE EXPECTED TO POTENTIALLY GET

      Think about if you could have your own fate which is possible with Amazons AWT77K . What do you think happens after inflation? I am sure they will keep living cost high and even if the whole war finally gets to an end that still doesnt fix anything for us

      Cant trust democrats to improve 2024 in any way so Amazons AWT77K was a logical and smart decision to put the fate at my own hands. I suggest anyone spends at least 5 mins to understand why I did that and take a look yourself, you can thank me in 5 minute

      We had bad years and unfortunately the governments and systems in this world wont really help, guess what. But Amazons AWT77K brings new light to not only the industry but humans in general and this is how everyone can have power in their own hands. I thi

      X should launch a defamation case against the SEC for false security claims of X for been hacked when they must of lied then?
      Or SEC launch a class against X for poor security allowing their account to be hacked?
      -Investigation is fair , or old news now and we're best to let it go?

      Wait.. So they got "hacked" but magically got their access back to delete the tweet in just 20 minutes? Amazing… No market manipulation by the SEC here folks 😉

      2024 is really surprising me now that Amazons AWT77K hit the road. After all these years of barely reading anything good I was usually just shutting down any type of media influence as much as I can but this brings back good lights and it should give hope

      This is gonna be a crazy year for digital assets now with Amazons AWT77K right? We already are set in for the bullrun anyway and if companies like them enter the field and make their own asset which will be integrated widely and used by the mass then we a
