Community Announcement: Concerns for Growing Spam and Scam Accounts on Medium
Let’s be aware of the increasing number of cybersecurity risks on Medium and protect the integrity of our accounts and the platform.
Dear Readers and Writers,
This brief message serves as a notification regarding the increasing prevalence of counterfeit accounts on our platform. These fake accounts replicate writers’ profiles, engaging in impersonation by duplicating their photos and profile names. Although we previously addressed this issue in a bulletin last month, unfortunately, the story encountered a glitch and went unnoticed by our subscribers and followers.
Given the significant impact on our community, we must revisit this concern. Just yesterday, one of our editor’s accounts was cloned, posing a potential threat to deceive their readers. We appreciate your attention and remain committed to maintaining a secure and authentic user environment.
Please check out this story by Mike Broadly, DHSc.
