[As noted by security researcher Will Dormann](https://twitter.com/wdormann/status/1769946620479562100 "(opens in a new window)"), some posts on X purport to lead to a legitimate website, but actually redirect somewhere else. In Dormann's example, an advertisement posted by a verified X user claims to lead to [forbes.com](http://forbes.com/ "(opens in a new window)"). When Dormann clicks the link, however, it takes him to a different link to open a Telegram channel that is, "helping individuals earn maximum profit in the crypto market," he said. In short, the "Forbes" link leads to crypto spam
