Twitter Links Enable Crypto Scams by Redirecting Users from Legitimate Sites

• Links on Twitter are sending people to different sites than what they click, enabling crypto scams. A verified account tweet showed a Forbes link but took users to a Telegram crypto scam.

• Twitter is failing to show users the real destination of links. Scammers embed multiple destinations so bots see one thing but users get redirected.

• Deceptive posts preview legitimate sites but actually go elsewhere. No way for mobile users to check if links are legit.

• Another example showed a YouTube link and Musk/Dorsey/Wood video that went to a deepfake on another site.

• Scam ads raise questions about Twitter's weak content moderation and vetting. Users should expect accurate info from verified accounts.
