Our Snopes account was hacked on X (formerly twitter) and we got locked out for six weeks. We finally just got it back!
See the full story in the comments below for what we had to do to get someone/anyone at X to help us.
From Snopes CEO

On Jan 31st, one of our employees said they couldn’t log in to our Snopes X account. I checked our site email and noticed that a minute earlier, we received an email from X saying someone new logged into our Snopes account. I didn’t recognize the location and then I saw another email that came directly after saying “X two-factor authentication is good to go”.
That’s when panic set in.
@snopes There is irony in existing to counter misinformation, then paying 1,000 dollars a month to one of the biggest misinformation silos online.
