Microsoft India X account hijacked by cryptocurrency scammers
Cryptocurrency scammers recently hijacked the official Microsoft India X account, which has over 211,000 followers, and impersonated Roaring Kitty (the alias of famous meme stock trader Keith Gill). The X account of Microsoft India is marked with a gold checkmark, indicating that it has been officially verified, which increases the credibility of fraudulent posts. The hijacked account was used to reply to tweets and guide fans and other users to malicious websites, falsely claiming to offer Gamestop (GME) cryptocurrency pre-sales. This phishing website aims to steal the assets of anyone who connects to a cryptocurrency wallet and authorizes transactions. In addition, many robot accounts forwarded the hijacked posts, expanding the scope of influence and trapping more victims.
