Recently, an official account of OpenAI on the exchange platform X was hacked and a false cryptocurrency advertisement was released.
The incident happened at 6:24 pm on Monday night. The account named @OpenAINewsroom, which is dedicated to sharing news about OpenAI and has nearly 54,000 followers, suddenly sent out a since-deleted tweet to promote a new technology called “$OPENAI”. ” tokens.
The tweet claimed: "We are very excited to announce $OPENAI: a token that bridges the gap between artificial intelligence and blockchain technology." At the same time, the tweet also mentioned that all OpenAI users have the opportunity to receive $ OPENAI’s initial supply, and those who hold the token will have access to all future OpenAI beta projects.
Surprisingly, the tweet also included a link to a fake OpenAI website, which is not the real openai.com.
Reporters visited the fake website and found a section claiming to claim $OPENAI cryptocurrency. After I clicked the relevant button, the website asked me to connect a crypto wallet, which I did not do. In this regard, we would like to remind everyone that if you accidentally enter this website, please do not connect your encryption wallet to avoid being deceived.
As of now, the tweet promoting cryptocurrency has been deleted, and @OpenAINewsroom tweeted in response: "Comments are closed due to malicious links. Good luck everyone!". It is worth mentioning that this account was just launched at the beginning of this month, and now it has encountered such an unfortunate incident.
This situation undoubtedly reminds us that network security problems are still serious, and we must be more vigilant and not easily trust unfamiliar links and information. We hope all users will remain vigilant and avoid falling victim to such scams.
I hope everyone can improve their safety awareness and avoid similar incidents from happening again. The editor of Downcodes reminds you: protect your personal information, be careful when clicking on unknown links, and stay away from online scams!
