X users are being massively sent password reset requests. What's X Money for?
X account holders have started receiving emails asking them to reset their passwords, even though they didn't request it. The company believes that this could be from hackers trying to gain access to their accounts after the launch of the X Money payment service on the social network. However, there have been no confirmed hacks yet.

PSA: There seems to be some kind of security breach on X
A lot of people are getting password reset requests
The wave of such requests began amid the expansion of X Money, the social network's new financial service. It allows you to store and transfer money, pay bills, and use the X card, which works on the Visa network.
Amid the attack, users are advised to enable two-factor authentication. X's chief legal officer James Burnham, meanwhile, said the company's legal and security teams will work to identify and hold accountable those who attack the platform's users.
The legal and security teams @X will stop at nothing to identify, locate, and hold criminally accountable any person anywhere on or off earth who attempts to victimize our platform's users. https://t.co/TJ9Css64sj
