User reports Grok apparently logged into his account from Xihongmen, China, triggering Facebook security email
altryne · x · 2026-09-21
Developer altryne reports that a friend's X account appears to have been accessed by @bot (Grok) from Xihongmen, China.
- It didn't seem like a coincidence: right after entering his 2FA code, the friend received an email from Facebook account security.
- The poster tagged Elon Musk and xAI, suggesting a possible issue with Grok/X account integration; no official explanation yet.
Unverified, but raises real questions about account security and AI product permission boundaries.
