Twitter’s Rebrand to “X” Causes Scam Alerts on Microsoft Edge
Twitter’s recent decision to rebrand itself as “X” has raised concerns among Microsoft Edge users as they reported encountering scam alerts while trying to access the platform. The unexpected name change has led to confusion and potential security risks for some users.
According to reports, Microsoft Edge’s SmartScreen feature flagged the new “X” website as a potentially malicious site, triggering scam warnings and advising users not to proceed further. This has caused frustration and anxiety among users who were expecting to access Twitter but were met with security warnings instead.
The rebranding move by Twitter to “X” was announced without much prior notice or explanation, leaving many users bewildered and skeptical about the legitimacy of the new website. The lack of communication and official statements from Twitter further fueled concerns, leading to speculations about potential phishing attempts and cyber threats.
While some users have managed to access the “X” website without any issues, others have experienced persistent scam alerts, hindering their ability to use the platform seamlessly. Microsoft Edge users, in particular, have been advised to exercise caution and refrain from sharing sensitive information until the situation is clarified.
