Two United States senators, J.D. Vance and Thom Tillis, have raised concerns about the recent breach of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) X (formerly Twitter) account. 

In a letter addressed to SEC Chair Gary Gensler on the same day as the incident, the senators called for a report to be delivered to Congress regarding the breach, emphasizing the need to evaluate the commission’s internal cybersecurity procedures.

Describing the breach as a matter of serious concern, Vance and Tillis emphasized that it contradicts the SEC’s core mission of protecting investors, maintaining fair markets, and facilitating capital formation.
