The post first reports that the @karinanguyen account was hacked, advising users to ignore recent DMs and links from it until access is restored.
The author then suggests that X should turn Grok into a native, real-time security layer to:

- Investigate suspicious activity
- Flag phishing attempts
- Warn users promptly
