Brian Krebs reported that X started automatically changing twitter.com links to x.com links.
The problem is: it changed any domain name that ended with "Twitter.com," and it only changed the link's appearance, not the underlying URL. So if you were a clever phisher and registered fedetwitter.com, people would see the link as fedex.com, but it would send people to fedetwitter.com.
