Info (please complete the following information):

  • Browser: Chrome
  • Platform: Windows
  • Extension Version: 2.0
  • Location: US

What happened
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to twitter.com/alandavies1, observe that it is a scam and that it is "verified"
  2. Go to https://twitter.com/RealDMitchell/status/1679405429149843458, see David Mitchell talking about alandavies1 being hacked.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Expected behavior
Hacked accounts should not be verified

Additional context
It really shouldn't be this extension's role to monitor for problems with verified accounts, it's Twitter's role. But that's not a thing anymore. So an account that used to be "verified" and which this extension shows as verified no longer is.

I don't know what should be done about this. Whose job it would be to determine if an account should be removed from the list.
