Microsoft’s official X account fell victim to unauthorized access, with attackers seizing the opportunity to post misleading tweets. These tweets falsely claimed that Clippy, Microsoft’s iconic virtual assistant, would make a comeback if the post garnered 500,000 likes. In addition to this, the attackers engaged in actions such as following related accounts and altering the profile picture. The breach persisted for approximately 30 minutes before Microsoft successfully regained control of the account. The company promptly deleted the deceptive content and is now conducting a thorough investigation into the matter. Microsoft has unequivocally stated that it does not endorse the cryptocurrency token in question and intends to pursue legal action to ensure the removal of all related content.
