Hot Development at Bitcoin-Famous MicroStrategy

In the attack that started today, malicious links began to be published from MicroStrategy’s X account. These links directed users to a fake MicroStrategy webpage, enticing them to participate in fake MSTR airdrops. After users accepted permissions in their Web3 wallets, they fell into a trap that allowed attackers to automatically drain tokens from their wallets.

According to blockchain movement tracker ZachXBT and anti-fraud platform Scam Sniffer, losses from the scam have exceeded $440,000 so far. As a result of the fraud, one user lost a total of $424,786 in altcoins. Some of these losses were directed to the MicroStrategy attacker’s wallet, while others were sent to a second wallet associated with a hacking group called PinkDrainer.

Incident Captures Crypto Community’s Attention

As of now, the wallet of the MicroStrategy attacker contains Ethereum-based tokens valued at a total of $329,000, according to DeBank. This incident did not surprise crypto industry experts. Some experts noted that MicroStrategy typically focuses on Bitcoin and that launching an Ethereum-based token was unlikely.

However, the security vulnerabilities and fraud methods underlying the incident continue to be carefully examined by the crypto community. The hacking of MicroStrategy and the fake airdrop scam present an interesting case in demonstrating the complex and risky nature of the crypto world.
