US DOJ probes mass password reset attacks on X

The DOJ's direct involvement signals that password reset attacks have escalated from a nuisance to a national security concern, given X's role in public discourse. This probe could set a precedent for how platforms and federal agencies cooperate on credential-stuffing and SIM-swap style threats. The open question is whether this prompts broader industry-wide defenses or remains a one-off response, and whether the attackers' methods reveal systemic vulnerabilities in account recovery processes.
