It appears our Snopes' X/Twitter account has just been hacked.
One of our staff was logged-in at the time and all of sudden got booted. We checked our email and noticed 3 just came in from X (first saying a new device logged-in then an email saying an authenticator app was added followed by an email saying our password was changed).
I immediately reset the password as our email was still tied to the account but we still couldn't login because it said we need to use the authenticator app which we didn't add. I also immediately submitted a request to X support saying our account may have been hacked.
Anything else we should do? This happened about 20 minutes ago. So far there are no weird posts on our account [x.com/snopes]. I'm hoping the hacker got booted when I submitted the password reset and request to X support immediately after being booted.

@snopes as other have said, enable two factor. Also, go to your account settings, security and account access, then review all of the connected apps, sessions, logged in accounts and so on and remove any that you don’t recognize.
