A series of tweets from various users have highlighted a significant issue on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, involving numerous accounts being compromised. High-profile accounts including those of blockchain media company Cointelegraph on 23rd March and individuals like Jack Farley have been hacked, leading to unauthorized posts and potential scams involving a cyber currency called BASE, purportedly by someone named Brian Armstrong. Users are being cautioned not to interact with suspicious posts or send funds to any addresses linked to these compromised accounts. The situation has prompted calls for assistance from X's support team, with affected users seeking to regain control of their accounts. The incident underscores the ongoing challenges social media platforms face in protecting user security and combating cyber threats.
