What's in the checklist
- Capture the evidence before it disappears. What to screenshot, and the one notice from X you must not delete.
- File with X the right way, once. Which form, where to find it, and the four answers X asks for within minutes.
- The password reset trap. When to try it, and when to stop.
- Find your proof of ownership. Where it is hiding, and what to save.
- Lock down what the attacker can't reach yet. The account to secure first.
- The two moves that make it worse. Both feel like the right thing to do at the time.
Then expect a no. X's access team rejected my proof twice, with the same email word for word. Closed did not mean closed. What I did next was send five things on the same morning, each citing the others. Two days later, X moved.
