SlowMist Team: Recently, there has been a significant increase in phishing email attacks targeting X Platform users

BlockBeats News, July 20th, SlowMist founder Yong Cosmos published a security advisory, indicating a recent surge in phishing email attacks targeting X platform users. These emails, with the subject "New login to X From XXX," are able to bypass Gmail's spam filtering system. Attackers send fake account login notifications, prompting users to click on "Change your password" or "Review the apps" links, which actually redirect users to X platform's official third-party app authorization page. Once authorized, the attackers gain permission to post and retweet on the user's behalf, allowing them to control the account and publish content without the user's knowledge. Users are advised to be vigilant, carefully handle any emails claiming unusual login activity on their X account, avoid clicking on any links in the email, and refrain from authorizing any applications.
