😱💥MicroStrategy X account was hacked: The loss is huge…
The X account of #MicroStrategy company, which holds 190 thousand Bitcoins, was hacked at night. A tweet was sent from the account stating that an MSTR token had been issued and a trapped link was sent to the users. The loss of followers who clicked on this link reached about 450 thousand dollars.
MicroStrategy's X account, which has more than 190 thousand Bitcoins in its possession, was hacked and it was stated that an Ethereum-based MSTR token would be issued in the exchange.
A link was also shared “for those who want to earn the token” in the tweet stating that the token, which will be issued with the abbreviation MSTR, which is the share code, will be supported by the company's Bitcoin reserves.
Despite all the warnings made about angling and phishing, which is the most widely used attack hound of the recent period, it attracted attention that many followers fell into this trap.
Although the number of followers who clicked on the link is unknown, the #ZachXBT account, known for its crypto and on-chain research, stated that the total amount stolen was around 440 thousand dollars.
As it is known, those who click on the trap link shared in such attacks also connect their wallets to the system created by hackers and almost hand over their assets to these attackers.
There has been no statement from MicroStrategy company or chairman of the board Michael Saylor on this issue yet.
According to information from on-chain tracking companies, in 2023 alone, 350 thousand people's accounts were stolen due to phishing and phishing attacks, and about $ 375 million in funds were stolen.
