My @BrianOSheaSPI account got hacked, but through very loud postings to X, I got it back. Follow me here or at @BrianOSheaSPI

1/Oh this gets better and better. You see, @elonmusk @X @Safety @Support seem to be avoiding helping people who got hacked by Nigerians, like me, because it increases their population of earners for X’s “Creator Revenue Sharing” program, especially in Nigeria. blog.piggyvest.com/money-tip… So these Nigerian scumbags hack accounts who already have the minimum requirements for the Creators Revenue Sharing program so they can start earning and earning for X immediately, riding on my hard work. Elon and @X don’t give a shit as long as they are active. Then they use accounts like mine to hack other premium accounts that meet the minimum criteria so that hacker can now earn double having hijacked two accounts. This needs to be investigated and I’m sorry, but so does @elonmusk for criminal negligence by @TheJusticeDept …because he already knew this was a problem (cont’d)
Hey @elonmusk: does your @X @Safety @Support have a Nigerian-based workforce? Just curious. Cc @FBI @FBICyberDiv @StateDept @naomirwolf @scottscottlaw @POTUS @nytimes

And even more bots offering to unlock my account. There is a vicious black market of hackers hacking then offering to unhack. @X @elonmusk @Safety are letting it happen. Do not use the DM function on X, do NOT pay for a so-called “premium” account (I did and I still get no support from X), and do NOT get verified. Clearly it doesn’t make a difference because X isn’t “verifying shit. For example: My “verified” account was hacked and even after I cancelled the verification subscription, @BrianOSheaSPI is still showing as “verified”, and it’s compromised account, has been since April 26th!Yet @X continues to show my hacked account as “verified”. Now I’m no lawyer, but to me this seems like fraud and also puts other users at risk. I wonder how many other hijacked accounts are “verified” and being used to scam legit X users?

23rd request for assistance with a hacked account, 23rd useless roboreply telling me that I am wrong and have control of my account, which obviously I don’t. Want proof, @elonmusk! Because this is what the hacker (from Nigeria, of course) sent!:

This is unbelievable. Your support sucks @elonmusk. We won a lawsuit against Twitter. I’m confident we will win one again. I’d prefer you simply fix this slop you call support, but clearly you are unable to or unwilling to. This has been the same reply I get everytime I report my account has been hacked. I’ve been trying to get access since April 26, 2026 and have submitted dozens of request for help (and I am a premium account, for whatever that’s worth).

Mine are “X Support/Sucks”. I’ve been hacked for two weeks, submitted twenty requests, and I still keep getting the same automated answer! And when they do reply half the links don’t work. I hope your astronauts get better support than your other patrons, otherwise they’ll be dead clinging to a reply from @SpaceX telling them “there’s no problem”!

Oh look, more bots spamming me to unlock my account. At least they are responsive, not like X

And then, when I post this, I get all of the hacker bots trying to capitalize on the situation. Hey bots, go to hell. What a shitshow marketplace @elonmusk has let @X devolve into
