Attackers have taken over the official X account for MicroStrategy account, posting a series of malicious links to a fake airdrop for a nefarious $MSTR token.
Business intelligence firm MicroStrategy’s X account has been hacked, posting several malicious links to claim a fake airdrop of a nefarious $MSTR token to its nearly 200,000 followers.
Once a user clicks on the link they are directed to a copycat MicroStrategy webpage which directs them to connect a wallet and claim the fake $MSTR airdrop. Once users accept a series of permissions in their Web3 wallet, the attackers can automatically drain the tokens out of the user’s wallet.
