It's actually worse than I thought -- this account *looks* like a real
@business reporter, with a blue-check, shared Bloomberg articles and comments in their feed, and legit tech CEOs following them like
@BrendanFoody.
But they don't have a LinkedIn, and Google search results return their own phishing tweets pretending to be reporter inquiries.
Look out and report accounts like
@misterbosquez, everyone 😨

A word to the wise for any startup folks out there:
▪️real pitches from journalists will be more specific than this extremely general, LLM-sounding story topic
▪️legit journalists do not have time to write an essay about a random call
▪️they also do not have teams who schedule prep calls for the main call lol
▪️if you get outreach like this, even from a real-seeming account, DO NOT CLICK A SCHEDULING LINK
Fs in the chat for the reporter who got hacked and whose account sent me these DMs ⚰️
