MicroStrategy’s X account was hacked – $440,000 worth of crypto assets were stolen through phishing | CoinDesk JAPAN

ZachXBT, who monitors blockchain activity, reported that MicroStrategy’s X account was hacked on February 26th, and a phishing message was posted to its followers.

Michael Saylor’s crypto investment firm X account sent out a post announcing the launch of the MSTR token and a link to claim an airdrop of the fake token.

ZachXBT added that the phishing attempt led to the theft of crypto assets worth $440,000 (approximately 66 million yen, at an exchange rate of 1 dollar = 150 yen). The phishing post has since been deleted.

MicroStrategy could not immediately be reached for comment.
