X Resolves URL Modification Error Amid Phishing Concerns

Elon Musk's X has corrected a significant flaw that transformed Twitter.com links into X.com, potentially facilitating phishing scams.

X's iOS app was automatically converting 'Twitter.com' to 'X.com' in posts, leading to misleading URL displays.
The issue created opportunities for scammers to mislead users into visiting malicious sites disguised as legitimate ones.
Concerned users purchased domains like 'NetfliTwitter.com' to prevent their use in phishing attacks.
X has since corrected the error, although the reversal may not apply to all altered URLs.
The URL change was part of a broader effort by X to rebrand the platform, previously known as Twitter.
