A new trend of Twitter spam has emerged, where scammers impersonate reporters from major news outlets to deceive users. Reports indicate that individuals are receiving direct messages (DMs) from accounts posing as journalists, particularly targeting those with significant followings. These messages often include links that, when clicked, can compromise users' accounts by requesting access to their X accounts through the X-API. Users are advised to be cautious and ignore such requests. To protect themselves, individuals are encouraged to verify the identity of the sender, and if communication is necessary, to consider conducting a phone or video call from a secure device that does not contain cryptocurrency wallets. Notably, there have been instances of fake names being used, such as 'Sarah Thlac' at TechCrunch, which does not correspond to any actual reporter at the outlet.
