Accounts that had 2FA enabled were hacked on twitter. The Twitter hacker used social engineering to get twitter employees to temporarily change the email addresses of each account.
The 2nd Authenticator (meaning the email that is received upon logging on) was redirected to the hackers email. I'm unsure if he did this will all the accounts, or even if that was all he did.. I'm sure there were more steps, but that was the general idea. The point is that 2FA isn't unbeatable.
When did they change what social engineering means? I'm not convinced they did but you and Tim Pool use it the same way. You guys seem to use it as a stand in for catfishing when no romance is involved. It used to mean brainwashing people subliminally.
Hey man you asked when it changed and I answered from my experience that it's been awhile. You don't have to like it but to be able to properly communicate with others you have to accept that you're not a gatekeeper on words either. Use it(or don't) however you want. That's freedom baby!

Wait a minute.
How does just an e-mail change let them get past 2-factor authentication?

It's been used this way for years to describe manipulating passwords out of people. Like at least as far back as early 2000s.
And 'racism' has been used just as long to describe a color blind meritocracy, that doesn't make it correct.
