BTCCSquare news:
Social media platform X, formerly Twitter, has uncovered a bribery network orchestrated by crypto scammers attempting to regain access to suspended accounts. The company's Global Government Affairs team disclosed on September 19 that middlemen representing banned users offered bribes to employees. These accounts were implicated in cryptocurrency fraud and platform manipulation.
The operation extends beyond X, with scammers exploiting multiple platforms including Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Investigations reveal connections to The Com, an international cybercrime syndicate involved in crypto theft and data breaches. The FBI issued warnings about this group's activities in July, highlighting its global reach and criminal sophistication.
