[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
Plus, it has the added benefit of drawing attention to how many "articles" on other sites are just a long string of embedded tweets.
