X<\/a> users are reportedly receiving multiple password reset confirmation emails en masse, allegedly triggered by hackers attempting to access their accounts. While there have been no reported breaches thus far, these emails may be hiding a secondary attack.<\/p>\n

In a post on Monday, X product engineer Mridul Singhai acknowledged the deluge of password reset emails that many users have been receiving.<\/p>\n

“Attackers appear to believe that, now that @XMoney is widely available, they can gain unauthorized access to accounts,” Singhai posted<\/a>, responding to a user who raised the issue<\/a>. “We are actively investigating the issue and, so far, have found no evidence of any breaches. We apologize for the multiple emails and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this.”<\/p>\n
