Warning from Ripple's Chief Technology Officer

In a recent tweet, Ripple's Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, also known as @JoelKatz on the X social platform, cautioned the XRP community about a new phishing scam circulating on Elon Musk's X network.

Schwartz highlighted a tweet from a @3YearLetterman X user showcasing a fraudulent direct message received on X. The message falsely claimed to be from the X support team alleging copyright violations against the recipient's account, urging a response within 24 hours through a provided link. Schwartz emphasized that such messages are fake and the attached links lead to phishing sites aiming to gather login and personal details, potentially resulting in account suspension.

Additionally, an analysis of the sender's account details revealed over 210,000 followers joined X before Elon Musk's ownership.

Schwartz reiterated his warning not to engage with the link in such messages, emphasizing the risk of personal information exposure.
