Block Attackers Who Abuse Grok to Spread Phishing Links
Threat actors are abusing X's generative AI bot Grok to spread phishing links, according to researchers at ESET. The attackers achieve this by tricking Grok into thinking it's answering a question and providing a link in its answer.
"In this attack campaign, threat actors circumvent X's ban on links in promoted posts (designed to fight malvertising) by running video card posts featuring clickbait videos," ESET says.
