- A user discovered that opening external article links inside X's in-app browser leaves persistent web login sessions; the quoted post warns this effectively hands account access to outside pages, "like getting phished by clicking a link."
- The reposter shared a screenshot of their Apps and sessions page showing 596 web sessions spanning several days, apparently just from clicking articles.
- Users are advised to check Settings → Security → Apps and sessions and revoke suspicious sessions in bulk.
