Pag-hijack ng X Account ni Scott Simon<\/h2>\n

Ang NPR host<\/strong> na si Scott Simon<\/strong> ay naging pinakabagong kilalang personalidad sa media na na-hijack ang kanyang X account<\/em> ng mga scammer sa cryptocurrency. Nagbigay ng babala si Steve Inskeep<\/strong>, kasamahan ni Simon, sa mga tagasunod, na nilinaw na hindi nagtataguyod si Simon ng mga digital na asset.<\/p>\n

Babala mula kay Steve Inskeep<\/h2>\n
\n

Pumunta si Inskeep sa X upang ibahagi ang isang direktang mensahe mula kay Simon tungkol sa patuloy na paglabag. “Kami ay nagtatrabaho upang baligtarin ang hack na ito, at umaasa kaming makakatulong ito,” sinabi ni Simon sa pamamagitan ng post ni Inskeep.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Mahalaga ang patuloy na komunikasyon ng mga tao sa isa’t isa. Ang aming account ay mahalaga sa mga tao, at sa amin, mula pa noong 2009.”<\/p>\n

Lock ng Account at Limitasyon sa Pinsala<\/h2>\n

Ang account ni Simon, na may higit sa 971,000 tagasunod<\/strong>, ay na-lock upang limitahan ang pinsala. Ang profile ay kasalukuyang nagpapakita ng isang abiso na nagsasaad na ang mga post ng account ay protektado at tanging mga aprubadong tagasunod lamang ang makakakita nito. Ang account ay na-lock upang maiwasan ang mga scammer na mag-broadcast ng karagdagang mapanlinlang na mga link sa publiko.<\/p>\n

Target ng mga Hacker<\/h2>\n

Ang mga mamamahayag na may kredibilidad at malalaking audience ay pangunahing target para sa mga hacker. Ang mga mapanlinlang na aktor ay karaniwang ginagamit ang kanilang mga profile upang mabilis na i-promote ang mga mapanlinlang na scheme ng cryptocurrency. Madalas silang gumagamit ng mga taktika ng “pump and dump”<\/strong> o mga phishing link.<\/p>\n

Kamakailang mga Halimbawa ng Targeted na Pag-atake<\/h2>\n

Ang mga kamakailang halimbawa ng katulad na mga targeted na pag-atake ay kinabibilangan ni Paul Sperry<\/strong> mula sa The New York Post<\/em>. Noong Mayo 2025, ang mga hacker ay nakapasok sa verified X account ng New York Post. Nagpadala sila ng mga direktang mensahe na nagpapanggap bilang mamamahayag na si Paul Sperry upang akitin ang mga hindi nakakaalam (at labis na mapagkakatiwalaan) na mga gumagamit ng crypto sa isang pekeng podcast interview sa pamamagitan ng Telegram.<\/p>\n

Si Nick Robinson<\/strong>, ang beteranong mamamahayag ng BBC<\/em>, ay na-kompromiso ang kanyang account matapos mahulog sa isang phishing message noong nakaraang taon. Ginamit ng mga umaatake ang kanyang profile upang i-promote ang isang pekeng cryptocurrency token, na isang karaniwang modus operandi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
