MicroStrategy, a significant corporate holder of Bitcoin, experienced a security breach on its X account, leading to a phishing scam that tricked users into sending funds to the attackers.

The compromised account posted misleading messages, including an Ethereum (ETH) scam and a fake promotion for a $MSTR token, falsely promising low gas fees and backing by MicroStrategy's Bitcoin reserves.
