TechFlame reports that Nikita Bier, the product lead at Platform X, announced that the platform is implementing a countermeasure against cryptocurrency phishing scams: if an account posts cryptocurrency-related content for the first time in its history, the platform will automatically trigger an account lock and require identity verification.
Nikita Bier stated that this measure is expected to eliminate 99% of malicious motives. He also pointed out that Google currently fails to effectively block related phishing emails, which remains a significant channel for the spread of current scam activities.
