Bitcoin-Holder MicroStrategy (MSTR) X Account Hacked: Security Firm

MicroStrategy Inc., the largest publicly-traded corporate holder of Bitcoin, suffered a hack on its X account that tricked some people into handing over funds to the attacker, according to crypto security analysts.

On Monday in Asia, the attacker placed a now-deleted post on the company’s X page that purported to promote a new coin backed by the Tysons Corner, Virginia-based company. Users who clicked were directed to another website in what’s known as a phishing exploit.
