Microsoft's X account hacked to promote crypto scam
Original: # Microsofts # Konto auf X # gehackt - und dann ein "toller Auftritt für # Clippy " - war aber # Crypto # Scam https://
Microsoft's account on X was hijacked on 1 October 2026 and used to push a cryptocurrency scam. Observers joked about a "great appearance for Clippy" given the absurd contrast between the company's brand and the fraudulent posts, but the incident raised serious questions about security on the platform and how a major corporate account could be compromised so easily.
Why now: A high-profile hack of one of the world's biggest tech companies, used for a crypto scam, is both alarming and ironically amusing.
