X Auto-Locks Accounts on First Crypto Post to Crush Phishing Scams Instantly
As an analyst, I’ve been looking into the new auto-lock feature, and it’s designed to stop a common type of scam. Basically, if an account makes its very first post about cryptocurrency, it’s automatically locked. The user then needs to verify their identity to unlock it. The idea is to cut off hackers at the source. They often gain access through phishing, immediately lock out the real owner, and then exploit the account’s existing followers to promote scams like fake tokens or giveaways. This auto-lock aims to prevent that from happening.
