X: “We can confirm that the account SEC was compromised and we have completed a preliminary investigation. Based on our investigation, the compromise was not due to any breach of X’s systems, but rather due to an unidentified individual obtaining control over a phone number associated with the SEC account through a third party. We can also confirm that the account did not have two-factor authentication enabled at the time the account was compromised”.

The CFTC released the DeFi report and made five recommendations to mitigate risks:
1. Resource assessment, data gathering and mapping: increase technical capacity and understanding of DeFi; map existing DeFi to measure and highlight interconnections and threat vectors (the use of leverage, concentration, and potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities); develop continuous data gathering, monitoring, information sharing, and regulatory partnerships.
2. Survey the existing regulatory perimeter: use the mapping exercise to determine whether DeFi products and services are within the U.S. financial regulatory perimeter; assess the level of compliance; identify regulatory gaps and whether frameworks should be expanded to address risks; partner with self-regulatory organizations; evaluate international peer jurisdictions’ regulation.
3. Risk identification, assessment, and prioritization: including risks posed by asymmetric information and conflicts of interest, operational, technical and security vulnerabilities, liquidity and maturity mismatches, over-leverage, algorithmic discrimination, wash trading, front running and other types of market manipulation, oracle exploitation, vulnerabilities in consensus protocols, hardwired algorithmic failures, reliance on key service providers and other forms of concentration risk; financial and technological complexity of DeFi compositions; hardwired procyclicality; and illicit finance.
4. Identify and evaluate the range of potential policy responses to address risks: including disclosure, regulatory reporting, third party auditing, entry restrictions, regulatory supervision, governance regulation, conduct regulation, product regulation, balance sheet regulation, activity restrictions, structural regulation, and resolution planning.
5. Foster greater engagement and collaboration with domestic and international standard setters, regulatory efforts, and DeFi builders.
