The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently experienced a major security breach on its official Twitter account @SECGov, where an unauthorized tweet was posted from the account deceptively implying approval of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund. (ETFs), it was later clarified that the fake announcement was not issued by the SEC or its staff, highlighting the vulnerability of social media accounts owned by key financial regulators.
The doctored tweet had an immediate impact on cryptocurrency markets, particularly the value of Bitcoin, and highlighted the impact of social media on financial markets and the potential risks of security breaches in digital platforms. The SEC later reassured investors and stakeholders about the misinformation by confirming that the tweet was unauthorized and that no Bitcoin ETFs had been approved.
