Crypto scammers recently hijacked the official Microsoft India X account, which has over 211,000 followers, to impersonate Roaring Kitty (Meme stock trader Keith Gill).
Microsoft India's X account was marked with a gold V, indicating that it was officially verified, which added credibility to the fraudulent posts. The hijacked account was used to reply to tweets, directing followers and other users to a malicious website that falsely claimed to offer a pre-sale of Gamestop (GME) cryptocurrency. This phishing website was designed to steal the assets of anyone who connected a cryptocurrency wallet and authorized a transaction. In addition, many bot accounts retweeted the hijacked posts, expanding the reach and attracting more victims. (Bitcoin.com)
