Unsolicited X Password-Reset Attempts Raise Account-Security Concerns as X Money Expands

Nick Carter posted that many people were receiving unsolicited X password-reset attempts in their email inboxes. The reports do not establish who initiated the attempts or whether they were part of a coordinated attack.

X users were advised to enable password-reset protection under Settings → Security and account access → Security check → Password reset protection. The activity was associated with a possible financial incentive as X Money rolled out to more people, but that connection was not established as fact.
