Spam Posts Spreading on X; Heavy Rain Images Lead to Adult Sites
10:58 JST, July 27, 2024
Spam posts using images related to heavy rain to link users to suspicious sites, including adult sites, are spreading on X amid a special heavy rain warning issued in Yamagata Prefecture.
The Yomiuri Shimbun on Friday found at least six such posts. The posts contained images informing people that a warning had been issued, along with such messages as “Please take action to protect your life.”
However, clicking on the images led to sites containing adult or investment-related content.
