OpenAI CTO's Twitter account hacked, shilling 'scam' airdrop, community warns
The Twitter account of Mita Murati, the chief technology officer of artificial intelligence firm OpenAI, has seemingly been hacked with the latest tweet promoting a "scam" cryptocurrency token.
On June 2, Murati's account tweeted what appears to be a phishing link promising an airdrop of a purported ERC-20 token OPENAI named after the firm that created ChatGPT.
We proudly present $OPENAI, a groundbreaking token driven by artificial intelligence-based language models.Visit https://t.co/Zk3Ez2Vo9O to see if you are eligible for an airdrop directly to your $ETH address.
The tweets author restricted who could reply to the tweet so others are unable to easily warn the link is a scam.
Twitter users have, however, warned of the scam with many theorizing Murati was victim to a SIM-swapping attack.
We don't know what's going on yet (SIM attack?)But NO WAY this is really Mira. This is a scam. https://t.co/zlp4SsR41l
This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
