[New Phishing Attack on Platform X Exploits Fake Applications to Bypass 2FA]
According to Cointelegraph, a highly covert phishing attack has recently exploited Platform X's application authorization mechanism to bypass passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA), resulting in the compromise of several accounts belonging to individuals in the crypto space. The attackers used phishing messages disguised as Google Calendar links to trick users into authorizing a malicious application named 'Calendar,' which contains obfuscated characters and requests full account control permissions. Security experts recommend that affected users promptly visit the authorized applications page on Platform X to remove the suspicious 'Calendar' application and prevent further losses.
