Users reported getting repeated, unsolicited password-reset emails from X after the launch of X Money. The emails appear legitimate, but attackers may be using them to confuse users and then send follow-up phishing messages that lead to fake X login pages to steal credentials. There is no confirmed evidence yet that the reset flood has resulted in successful account takeovers.
Mirage safely runs attacks like this one against your own team, so you find out what happens before a real adversary does.
Out of nowhere, your inbox blows up with real X password reset emails right after X Money launches. Attackers abuse account recovery using your public X username, then slip in a follow-up email: 'Your account needs to be secured or reset' with a link to a fake X login page. Here’s the trap: because the first reset emails are real, that phishing email feels legit, especially now that X Money makes your X account more valuable for financial fraud. If you get a reset flood, don’t click any email link, open the official X app or type x.com yourself to sign in and check your account.
Researchers reported a phishing setup that clones WhatsApp and Instagram login pages and uses valid HTTPS (TLS) certificates to look legitimate. Victims are lured via WhatsApp messages about “verification,” “pending payments,” or “customer support,” then sent to typosquatted lookalike domains to…
Zenity demonstrated real-world attack chains where hidden instructions in emails or content on X can hijack AI “agentic browsers” (ChatGPT Atlas and the Claude Chrome extension). In the demos, the AI agent can be steered to perform actions in the user’s already logged-in sessions, sending phishing…
Apollo Global Management disclosed a data breach after attackers used social engineering to gain unauthorized access to certain cloud platforms over several days in July. The attackers obtained sensitive personal data (including Social Security numbers), highlighting how stolen credentials and…
Researchers described iAuthFlow v2, a phishing toolkit that steals a live Google login session and then uses that access to enroll an attacker-controlled passkey. Because passkeys are separate login methods, the attacker can often get back into the account even after the victim changes their…
