Hackers picked a heck of a day to seize Jeff Passan’s Twitter account.

The apparent hackers changed his account name to “Jeff.eth (Jeff Passan)” and retweeted several posts from the account @SkulltoonsNFT.

As the world waits with bated breath to find out if the MLB lockout has officially concluded, this is about the worst time possible for Passan – one of the odds-on favorites to break the news – to lose access to his Twitter.
