Unknown attackers briefly hijacked Microsoft's official X account (13+ million followers) to promote a $Clippy crypto token in an apparent pump-and-dump scheme; Microsoft confirmed unauthorized access, removed the posts, and is investigating. The report also references a prior Microsoft India account compromise that distributed wallet-drainer malware and situates the incident within a broader trend of social-media hijacks and crypto scams.
