On April 9, Twitter/X began automatically modifying links that mention “twitter.com” to read “x.com” instead. But over the past 48 hours, dozens of new domain names have been registered that demonstrate how this change could be used to craft convincing phishing links — such as fedetwitter[.]com, which until very recently rendered as fedex.com in tweets.
Isn’t the “find-replace” mistake like… one of the first ones you come across learning to become a developer?
Bold of you to assume Elon is a developer
I heard about it from an rpg example, resulting in dealing 15 dawizard instead of 15 damage
And the one junior dev left at Twitter just learned it too.
A clbuttic mistake indeed.
