OpenAI’s official news account on X was hacked to promote a crypto fraud. The OpenAINewsroom account shared a new-deleted advertising a fake token called “$OPENAI”. “We’re very happy to announce $OPEANAI: the token bridging the gap between Al and blockchain technology,” the post said.

“All OpenAI users are eligible to claim a piece of $OPENAI’s initial supply. Holding $OPENAI will grant access to all of our future beta programs.” A link to a phishing site was included in the post that was a spoof version of OpenAI’s website where a “CLAIM $OPENAI” button showed up for users to claim cryptocurrency by connecting their wallets.



This could seemingly lead to theft of user credentials.
