Microsoft's X account was compromised and used to promote a cryptocurrency pump-and-dump scheme, according to security outlet BleepingComputer. The hijacked account was used to push a fraudulent token to Microsoft's large follower base, raising fresh concerns about the security of major corporate accounts on the platform.
Why now: The compromise of a high-profile corporate account shows how hacked platforms are being used to run crypto scams.
