Techub News, citing Crypto Briefing, reported that crypto scammers hijacked Microsoft’s official X account and used it to promote a fake token called Clippy. The incident shows how corporate social media accounts can be exploited in crypto scams and points to the need for stronger security measures. No further details were provided in the brief. The report centers on the misuse of a verified corporate account rather than any confirmed token launch or legitimate Microsoft initiative. It also highlights a recurring risk for major brands whose social channels can be turned into distribution points for fraudulent crypto promotions once compromised.
