OpenAI Executive Allegedly Targeted by Hackers in Cryptocurrency Scam on Twitter

Date:

The chief technology officer of OpenAI, Mira Murati, appears to have fallen victim to a Twitter hack that was promoting a fake cryptocurrency scam. Her Twitter account began issuing messages promoting $OPENAI, what was believed to be a cryptocurrency led by artificial intelligence-based language models. The public was urged to send digital cash to an Ethereum wallet address to receive free coins. Despite the tweets being deleted minutes later, they re-emerged soon after, but were removed after 45 minutes. The incident brings attention to the risks posed to higher profile Twitter accounts to hackers trying to take advantage of their many followers with scams or phishing attempts.
