X Disrupted Massive Password-Recovery Attack Targeting Hundreds of Thousands of Users

A major password-recovery attack targeted hundreds of thousands of X users this week.

X disrupted the attack before any accounts were compromised, and the U.S. Justice Department is now working with the company to identify those responsible.

Hundreds of thousands of X accounts were targeted in the attempt, but none reportedly fell victim to the cyberattack.

The incident is particularly relevant to crypto users, as their X accounts can serve as direct channels for promoting fake token giveaways and malicious links.
