From the BBN segment “Why verified social media accounts can still lead you into a scam”, cut down to under a minute.
The full story and the real reporting behind it (Fox News) →
What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: Fox News.
Hank LedgerFox News reports that Microsoft's account on X was hijacked and used to promote a crypto pump-and-dump scheme, in front of more than thirteen million followers.
Rosa TicksThirteen MILLION people, Hank, and the account had the checkmark!
Rosa TicksThe little blue checkmark that says trust me, and somebody allegedly just walked in wearing it!
Hank LedgerAllegedly walked in wearing a checkmark.
Rosa TicksIt's a masterpiece of a crime!
Rosa TicksThe suspect, whoever it is, borrowed a famous voice and used it to sell a coin, and I have not been this alive since I ate a whole rotisserie chicken at a stakeout!
Hank LedgerThe lesson is that a checkmark tells you who the account was yesterday. It does not tell you who is typing tonight.
Rosa TicksSo who is typing?! Is it YOU?!
Hank LedgerIt's one in the morning Eastern and I'm reading a teleprompter. The only verified thing here is that I'm awake. Brock, what's the sky doing?
