What happened
Cointelegraph’s official X account was reportedly compromised and used to send phishing links to contributors on the platform. Crypto KOL @thedefiedge reported receiving a DM from the account, asking him to review an article that allegedly mentioned him. When he clicked the link in a private browsing window, it prompted an X login — but the domain was “Cointetegraph,” a misspelled version of Cointelegraph. Previously, there were also market reports that Cointelegraph’s account had posted an on-chain token contract and disabled comments. That post has since been deleted.
