these account takeover scams are getting more sophisticated -someone from OpenAI wants to do a ‘partnership’ -linkedin looks legit, x has 12k followers -x is followed by a bunch of people i know are smart af, like Nick/Kanav/Aadi -messages are extremely natural, match how I’d expect an OAI partnerships person to act -sends me a booking link at calendy dot openaical .com or something -looks exactly like a calendy page -redirects to x oauth (this is how they take over your account) -i check the account, verified this month and based in india Incredibly well done. People are definitely going to fall for this. If the account was based in sf and the link wasn’t so obvious I may well have ngl i wasted some time conversing with this person people just blind follow anyone “from OpenAI” so easy to rack up followers
