X, Elon Musk’s social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has exposed a bribery network linked to cryptocurrency scams. Some suspended accounts reportedly tried to bribe employees to regain access.

The attackers, connected to larger cybercrime groups including the notorious “Com,” have also targeted Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. X has confirmed that legal proceedings are underway against those involved.

“Our commitment to ensuring our platform’s integrity is absolute,” X’s Global Government Affairs team said.

Wild to see scammers trying to bribe staff just to get accounts back. Shows how profitable these scams must be.

Ripple’s CEO being impersonated is a reminder that no platform is immune. Always double-check before clicking links.
