BlockBeats message, April 2, X product lead Nikita Bier, in a response to an attack following a crypto-related phishing incident on X, said: “We’re implementing automated locking and verification mechanisms. If a user first posts crypto-related content in their account history, it will be triggered. This should eliminate 99% of incentives, especially considering that Google didn’t take any steps at all to prevent phishing emails.”
