Todd Blanche Says DOJ Is Hunting Hackers Who Hit X Users' Passwords
Cyber criminals ran a password-recovery scheme against hundreds of thousands of X accounts, prompting Justice Department agents to join the platform's response.
- Blanche posted the warning on X Sept. 2, calling the hackers sophisticated cyber criminals.
- The attackers targeted password-recovery systems across hundreds of thousands of X accounts.
- DOJ says it is working closely with X to identify and prosecute those responsible.
Why it matters: Every account compromised through password recovery exposes the same weak hinge: a company's own reset tool.
