Scammers are sending bogus copyright warnings to steal your X login

Scammers are sending bogus copyright warnings to steal your X login, claiming to be from X and warning that DMCA notices have been received. The article notes that the messages often push you to act within 24 hours and resemble an X login page, but the “Review Details” button leads nowhere and any credentials entered go straight to the hackers.

According to Forbes, this warning pattern has been observed by a Forbes correspondent, highlighting the growing attempt to frighten users into surrendering their login details. Malwarebytes’ guidance emphasises practical steps to stay safe, including turning on 2FA, checking that the URL matches the expected site, and using a password manager to avoid manual entry on fake pages.

It also advises not clicking unsolicited email links and to verify through another channel, plus notes that a real DMCA notice would include a full copy of the reporter’s complaint and contact details. The article promotes Malwarebytes Scam Guard as a tool to help identify scams and reminds users to change passwords and review connected third‑party apps if they suspect compromise.
