OpenAI said one of its accounts on X was compromised on Monday, when an unauthorized individual sent out posts soliciting users to click through to a crypto token falsely claiming to be related to the artificial intelligence startup.
The company said it was aware of the issue, and was looking into it. The posts, which came from the account @OpenAINewsroom, appeared around 7 p.m. New York time and were still visible for some users about an hour later, before being deleted.
