BleepingComputer - Twitter URL manipulation lets scammers impersonate crypto giants and trick users into visiting scammy links
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/crypto-scammers-abuse-twitter-feature-to-impersonate-high-profile-accounts/
Scammers are manipulating Twitter's URL system to impersonate popular crypto accounts and promote fake giveaways, wallet-draining websites, and scammy Discord channels.
These scam URLs look legit but redirect to unrelated accounts, often with usernames featuring a company name and 5 digits.
While Twitter won't likely fix this "feature," be cautious: always check the actual account before clicking suspicious links, especially on mobile.
Beware of these scammers abusing Twitter feature!!
