X announced a new anti-phishing measure targeting first-time crypto content posts. A crypto scam alert system will automatically lock and verify accounts that share cryptocurrency-related content for the first time. The move aims to block 99% of scam triggers. Product lead Nikita Bier confirmed the rollout on April 2 (UTC+8). The update addresses rising security breach risks on the platform.

ME News reports that on April 2 (UTC+8), Nikita Bier, Head of Product at X, responded to cryptocurrency-related phishing incidents on the platform, stating that X is implementing an anti-phishing security measure: any account posting cryptocurrency-related content for the first time in its history will trigger an automatic lock and identity verification process, expected to eliminate 99% of phishing scams—particularly given Google’s ineffectiveness in blocking phishing emails.
