X Investigates Password Reset Email Wave After X Money Launch

X is investigating a wave of unsolicited password-reset emails sent to users, a company engineer said Tuesday, September 1, 2026, but has found no evidence of a system breach. The incident coincided with the recent expansion of X Money, the platform's payment service, leading company officials to suggest attackers may be targeting accounts they believe are now more valuable. Mridul Singhai, a product engineer on X's team, stated the company was actively examining reports from users who received unexpected password-reset messages and confirmation codes. "Attackers appear to believe that, now that X Money is widely available, they can gain unauthorized access to accounts," Singhai wrote.
