An official OpenAI account on X was achieven over to peddle a cryptocurrency deception on Monday evening.
On Monday at 6:24PM ET, the @OpenAINewsroom account, which splits recents from OpenAI and has csurrfinisherly 54,000 fagereduces, made a now-deleted post advertising an “$OPENAI” token.
“We’re very satisfyed to proclaim $OPEANAI: the token bridging the gap between Al and blockchain technology,” the post shelp. “All OpenAI includers are eligible to claim a piece of $OPENAI’s initial provide. Helderlying $OPENAI will grant access to all of our future beta programs.” The post also joind a join to a spoofed version of OpenAI’s website at a URL that wasn’t uncoverai.com.
When I visited the site, there was a section for claiming the $OPENAI cryptocurrency. When I clicked the button, it asked me to join a wallet, which I didn’t do.
OpenAI and X didn’t promptly answer to a seek for comment. As of this writing, the OpenAI Newsroom account hasn’t posted anyslfinisherg to make clear what might have happened. The account started at the commencening of this month.
