Hackers are hijacking X accounts of governments and businesses marked with gold and gray checkmarks, including Google's Mandiant, to promote crypto scams
The hijacked account was used to push #cryptocurrency scams. — The “change password please” made me giggle. :ablobcatlurk: — Zoinks. — #security #twitter #birdsite — https://arstechnica.com/... X: @malwrhunterteam : The account of Amina Gerba, a senator in the Canadian Senate got pwned, renamed & being used to spread scam. And as she is a senator, the account has a gray checkmark. 🤷♂️ The actors are using it to fake as the “LFG” project that not even have a blue checkmark on their account. 😂 [image]
