X automatically changed 'Twitter' to 'X' in users' posts, breaking legit URLs

Summary

Elon Musk's social media platform, previously Twitter, now X, has been changing 'Twitter.com' to 'X.com' on its iOS app. This has led to potential security risks. For example, a domain name 'NetfliTwitter.com' changes to 'Netflix.com' in posts, but the link directs to 'NetfliTwitter.com'. This could be used for phishing campaigns. X has patched some domains but the problem remains for many others.
