A recent incident involving the SEC has come to light, where an individual allegedly sim swapped and hacked the SEC's Twitter account and subsequently made a series of suspicious Google searches. The searches included queries such as 'how can I know for sure if I am being investigated by the FBI' and 'what are the signs that you are under investigation by law enforcement or the FBI even if you have not been contacted by them.' This behavior has been described as 'legendary post-hack behavior' by observers.
