Nikita Bier, product manager for X, stated that the platform is developing a new mechanism: if a user posts cryptocurrency-related content in their account history for the first time, it will trigger an automatic account lockout and identity verification process to combat phishing and fraudulent activities. She claims this move could reduce the motivation for such activities by 99%, especially given the continued prevalence of phishing emails.
