OpenAI's X Account Hacked to Promote Fake Crypto Token

The compromised account posted a fraudulent crypto scheme, marking the fifth such breach involving OpenAI-affiliated accounts in two years.

The @OpenAINewsroom account on X was hijacked on Monday evening to promote a fake $OPENAI token.
The post solicited users to connect their crypto wallets to a phishing site, potentially draining their assets.
This incident follows recent hacks of accounts belonging to OpenAI's CTO, chief scientist, and a researcher.
OpenAI had internally warned employees about a rise in account takeovers shortly before the breach.
The company is investigating the incident and has not announced any legitimate crypto or blockchain projects.
