[Microsoft X Account Hijacked to Promote Clippy-Themed Meme Coin]
Odaily Planet Daily News: On Thursday, the official X account of tech company Microsoft was accessed without authorization. It briefly followed accounts promoting an unofficial meme coin, retweeted related posts, and changed its profile picture to Clippy. The related content was deleted approximately 30 minutes later. Microsoft subsequently confirmed that the account's security had been restored, the unauthorized content had been removed, and stated that an investigation is ongoing.
Microsoft emphasized that it has never authorized anyone to use its intellectual property, including Clippy, to promote tokens and plans to take legal action. The token is named CLIPPY, and the account Clippy MSFT had previously promoted a liquidity pool valued at over $200,000. Some promoters claimed it was backed by real Microsoft stock, but this claim has not been verified and has no official connection to Microsoft.
