Alex Konrad(@alexrkonrad):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 😨 cc @Support

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 ⚰️
