OpenAI Newsroom Account Hacked by Crypto Scammers, Promoting Phishing Scam Token

Sep 23, 2024, 10:34 PM

The official OpenAI Newsroom account on X has been hacked, marking the fourth such incident involving OpenAI accounts in the past 15 months. The compromised account has been used to promote a fake token, $OPENAI, which is not legitimate. Users are advised not to interact with the account or click on any links it posts. This breach follows the hacking of Jason Wei's account, a researcher at OpenAI, just two days earlier. The incident underscores the urgent need for OpenAI to enhance its security measures, including the implementation of two-factor authentication (2FA) for all its accounts. Crypto scammers are behind this phishing attack.
