Threat actors abuse X’s Grok AI to spread malicious links www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…

Threat actors are using Grok, X’s built-in AI assistant, to bypass link posting restrictions that the platform introduced to reduce malicious advertising.

As discovered by Guardio Labs' researcher Nati Tal, mavertisers often run sketchy video ads containing adult content baits and avoid including a link to the main body to avoid being blocked by X.

Instead, they hide it in the small “From:” metadata field under the video card, which apparently isn’t scanned by the social media platform for malicious links.
