Brian Krebs reported that X.com automatically changed the visible text of links ending with "twitter.com" to show x.com while not changing the actual destination URL, which could be abused by phishers (e.g., a maliciously registered domain appearing as a trusted brand). The behavior created a phishing risk but was fixed after being reported.
