The X (formerly Twitter) account of MicroStrategy, one of the most important bitcoin companies in the world, was hacked to offer the delivery of a fake airdrop. One victim fell for the ruse and lost close to half a million dollars in various tokens and crypto assets.
On the social network itself, Spreek, one of the most followed accounts in the cryptocurrency community, warned of the hacking of MicroStrategy's profile and the fake airdrop of a token created on the Ethereum network, which was "fully integrated into the ecosystem" of the company.
The post, which has since been removed from MicroStrategy's profile, noted that the alleged token boasted low fees and "flawless transactions." Also, that the asset was built on "reliable and scalable code."
The misleading offer further said that the token was allegedly backed by the company MicroStrategy "and supplied from our bitcoin reserves."
The misleading post caused the loss of about USD,440,000, according to hacking researcher ZackXBT. That's what he said in X. The detective also reported to Etherscan that the hackers' wallet address was related to phishing scams.
