X is investigating a surge of unsolicited password reset emails sent to its users, which the company believes are linked to the recent rollout of its X Money payments service. The platform is warning users about potential phishing or account takeover attempts tied to the new feature launch.
Background
X (formerly Twitter) recently launched X Money, a payments feature allowing users to send and receive money directly on the platform. This follows Musk's long-stated goal of transforming X into an all-in-one financial and social app.
