Mandiant's X account, a subsidiary of Google, was hacked for hours by a hacker pushing crypto scams. The hackers took advantage of the decentralized and anonymous nature of cryptocurrencies. As a cybersecurity firm, Mandiant specializes in uncovering tactics used by nation-state threat actors. The details of the breach remain unclear. Questions remain about the security measures used by Mandiant's X account, such as strong passwords and two-factor authentication. The hacked account urged users to visit a malicious site and posed as "Phantom." A crafted link could enable attackers to take over accounts. #Cryptoscams #CybersecurityNews
