Yes I did. I will call my mobile provider to see if any changes were recently made.
I originally didn't suspect a SIM swap attack as I received a text message from one of my contacts around the time the e-mail address was changed. I was out of town of course and did not have my data on. I saw the Twitter e-mail notification the following day. Checking with my mobile provider will be a safe bet for sure.
Thank you for the info.
- scottsousa 7y agoI thought about this a bit further. Wouldn't the join date of May 2019 on the account [0] signify that the user may not have actually reset my password/e-mail address but rather created a new account? Ether way, I am still going to contact my mobile provider to be sure. [0] - https://twitter.com/scott https://twitter.com/scott
- timwis 7y agoMaybe the attacker simply changed your username after gaining access, paving way for them to register a new account in that name.
- scottsousa 7y agoThat's a good thought but I don't think that's the case unfortunately. My e-mail address is not associated with any Twitter account at this time. Twitter states they cannot find an account with my e-mail address if I try a password reset. As far as I can tell, my previous account has vanished as I mentioned in my OP.
