X Investigates Unusual Password Reset Attempts Following X Money Launch
Following the launch of its new payments service, X Money, attackers are attempting to target user accounts by triggering mass password reset emails. Multiple users have reported receiving unsolicited notifications, though a company representative stated there is no evidence yet that these attempts have been successful. X product engineer Mridul Singhai confirmed on social media the ongoing investigation and apologized for the disruption caused by multiple email alerts. The company has not officially commented through its corporate channels but emphasized it remains committed to identifying those responsible, with general counsel James Burnham vowing legal action against perpetrators. Users are being advised to enable two-factor authentication as a precautionary measure. X’s AI chatbot Grok confirmed the attacks involve mass-triggering of password reset forms using public usernames and reiterated that there is no evidence of system breaches or account takeovers.
