Fake journalist phishing scam on X uses real Calendly links to steal accounts
dfrsrchtwts · x · 2026-09-23
A user warns about a phishing scam on X: attackers pose as journalists requesting interviews.
The flow: (1) DM interview request, (2) a genuinely real Calendly link, (3) Calendly redirects to a fake domain, (4) you log into X on the fake page and get hacked. Attackers likely take over the account, change the password and lock you out. Advice: verify domains and secure your account ASAP.
