Scammers have found a way to trick people into thinking they’re visiting a legitimate company account on X when, in fact, they’re visiting an impersonator who will simply steal their cryptocurrency.
This method leans onto the way X handles links to different posts. On the platform, when a person posts something, the link to it holds both the username and the post’s unique ID. However, it seems that only the ID is necessary to redirect the visitor to the actual post, so the username in the link can be changed to any name.
