I had my old account hacked, it was then deleted and then they abandoned it. I have now re-registered with the same handle. X or twitter were useless. Assume this is common, but not sure why people would bother. #xhacked #twitterhack #xfraud #twitterfraud

Ultimately it is not important, but it was a frustrating experience and I'm sorry to lose the contacts. Over the time lots of people have cancelled/ended their accounts voluntarily.
