OpenAI CTO’s Twitter account hacked, shilling ‘scam’ airdrop, community warns

OpenAI CTO's Twitter account hacked, shilling 'scam' airdrop, community warns


The Twitter account of Mita Murati, the chief technology officer of artificial intelligence firm OpenAI, has seemingly been hacked with the latest tweet promoting a “scam” cryptocurrency token.

On June 2, Murati’s account tweeted what appears to be a phishing link promising an airdrop of a purported ERC-20 token OPENAI named after the firm that created ChatGPT.

The tweets author restricted who could reply to the tweet so others are unable to easily warn the link is a scam.

Twitter users have, however, warned of the scam with many theorizing Murati was victim to a SIM-swapping attack.

This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
