Rui Ma(@ruima):Just got two fake, phishing DMs from two fake reporters @Jaydayritt and @Futana6, one from Wired, one from TechCrunch, trying to get access to my X account. The accounts actually look pretty legit, especially this "Chloe" one, whose feed is legitimately nurtured to be TC-focused The scam was disguised as Calendly links, but they actually redirect to something called EventsPortal, which is basically trying to gain access to your X account Luckily, I'm too wired with coffee to fall for something stupid like that, but also because I deal with enough reporters to know they don't ask you to book with some team calendar, they usually need the story right away lol
