Looks like PayPal Mafia tried to WHACK Marc Cohodes on Twitter after he exposed their boy @DavidSacks 😳😳
His @alderlaneeggs account is dead … follow him on his new account @RealMarcCohodes
I guess when you piss off @DavidSacks he cries to Elon to get my account hacked.. I am @realmarccohodes for my @AlderLaneEggs has been hacked and taken over.. My Lawyers are on the case.
Marc’s account was hacked earlier today.
Until he regains access, he’s over at @RealMarcCohodes.
This is also an important opportunity for a PSA (public service announcement) to remind folks that if they’re not using 2FA, they should.
The BEST method for 2FA is a hardware key, like a yubikey, but that is complex and requires a specific key (nfc capable) and to have that key around/plugged in to something that can power it.
For most cases of non-financial applications/sites, the Google Authenticator (or if you don’t trust Google, use Authy…the open source version) is easy to set up and use. It’s a good middle ground and infinitely more secure than 2FA via text message or email.
