Grok bot auto-claims username emails, flagged as a potential security nightmare
djcows · x · 2026-10-10
Developer djcows warns that the Grok bot auto-claims username-based email addresses (e.g. [email protected]), and someone has already taken another user's address — @IterIntellectus publicly complained his Grok bot email was hijacked. No official response yet, but the naming/ownership mechanism looks like a real security risk.
