CRYPTO SCAMMERS ABUSE TWITTER ‘FEATURE’ TO IMPERSONATE HIGH-PROFILE ACCOUNTS

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Cryptocurrency scammers are misusing a Twitter feature that allows any account name to be associated with a tweet's ID. This potentially leads users to fraudulent accounts instead of the proposed legitimate account stated in the original URL, making scams look more credible. The method targets primarily crypto-related accounts and has been used to promote fake crypto giveaways, wallet-draining websites, and deceitful Discord channels.
